जिहि कारन बार न लाये कछू, गहि संभु-सरासन दोय किया। गये गेहहिं त्यागि कै ताही समै सु निकारि पिता बनवास दिया॥ कहे बीच ’रहीम’ रर्यौ न कछू, जिन कीनो हुतो बिनुहार किया। बिधि यों न सिया रसबार सिया करबार सिया पिय सार सिया॥

Rama Breaks the Bow

This profound work captures a pivotal moment of destiny from the Ramayana, where the youthful Prince Rama draws the divine bow of Shiva. In this sacred instant, the tension of the string mirrors the weight of dharma, as Rama proves his celestial nature to the gathered assembly. Raja Ravi Varma masterfully imbues the scene with a sense of quiet grace, anchoring the divine within a recognizable, human architecture, and inviting the viewer to witness the transition from human prince to the prophesied hero of the ages.
