| | Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana in the Forest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | This folio depicts the forest exile of Rama, Sita, and Rama's brother Lakshmana, who left the kingdom clad in the stark bark-and-leaf garments of ascetics. |
 | | In spite of his repose, Rama keeps his sword on his lap and a bow by his side, while his quiver of arrows hangs from a nearby branch. |
 | | To the left, Lakshmana attentively skins a fl buck in preparation for a meal of roasted venison kebabs. |
