Academy of Fine Arts and Literature
New Delhi, India

The painting represents king Dasharatha of Ayodhya and his three consorts, Kausalya, Sumitra and Kekeyi, each with one of their four sons, Rama, Bharata, Lakshmana and Shatrughna. Such is the contentment of king Dasharatha and his queens that forgetting their regalia they sprawl on bare floor like common lots.
