Ramayana

Ram's Coronation | Rama Pattabhishekam
Mysore Reverse Glass Painting

This magnificent Mysore Reverse Glass Painting depicts Rama Pattabhishekam -  the grand coronation of Lord Rama - rendered with the hallmark elegance and devotional grandeur of the Mysore painting tradition.
Lord Rama stands regally at the centre in his divine green form, adorned with intricate jewellery, floral garlands, and royal vestments, with his hand raised in a gesture of blessing. Flanking him are Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna, while the devoted Hanuman is seen at his feet in humble reverence, surrounded by celestial beings, horses, and elephants that signify the glory of Ayodhya's court.
The towering temple gopuram in the background, painted in rich earthy tones and fine detail, adds a sacred architectural grandeur that is deeply characteristic of this art form. Crafted on the underside of glass with meticulous layering and jewel-toned pigments, this is a timeless devotional masterpiece that captures one of the most celebrated moments in the Ramayana.
