The Testing of Sita in the Fire
The Testing of Sita in the Fire - by Harish Johari


This painting by Harish Johari shows a scene of Ramayan that occured after Ravana was defeated. Among the people of the kingdom of Ayodhya, rumours spread that Sita could not have remained her purity while being held captive for so long in the house of the demon king Ravana. Thus a fire-test was held to prove the purity of Sita. Sita stood inside the big fire without getting burned. The fire-god Agni stood at her back testifying her purity. Ram, Lakshman and Sugreeva (the monkey king) stood on one side. Hanuman, Jamavant (the king of the bears), Angad (son of Bali and crown-prince of the monkey kingdom) as well as Vibhishana (the younger brother of Ravana) stood on the other side.
