Ram Sagar Darpa Haran or Rama Vanquishing the Ocean

Arriving at the edge of the ocean in search of Sita, Lord Rama, accompanied by his brother Lakshmana and the vanarasena are stymied by the dangerous and choppy waters. With his request to Varuna, the Lord of the ocean, seeking a path across the ocean going unheard, an angry Rama whips out his bow to aim the feared Brahmastra at the ocean. Fearing Rama's wrath, Varuna and his consorts supplicate themselves before him, knowing that the Brahmastra would destroy the ocean completely; as a helpful gesture, Varuna suggests a bridge being built over it to so that Rama and his army can reach the Lankan shores where Sita is being held captive by the Rakshasa king Ravana.
