मैं हरि, पतित पावन सुने। मैं पतित, तुम पतित-पावन, दोउ बानक बने॥ ब्याध गनिक अगज अजामिल, साखि निगमनि भने। और अधम अनेक तारे, जात कापै गने॥ जानि नाम अजानि लीन्हें नरक जमपुर मने। दास तुलसी सरन आयो राखिये अपने॥

Hanuman Meeting Sita

In the quiet groves of the Ashoka Vatika in Lanka, grief is met with boundless grace. This sacred encounter portrays Hanuman, the devoted servant of Lord Rama, gently presenting himself before the sorrowful Sita. With hands folded in deep reverence and humility, Hanuman brings tidings of hope, easing the heavy burden of captivity with news of his master. Sita, seated beneath the protective boughs of a great tree, raises her hand in a gesture of blessing and reassurance. The artist Shankar captures this timeless moment of divine solace, where celestial love bridges the vast distance between despair and redemption.
