The vibrant lithograph titled "Shurpanakha Nasikakhandan" (The Cutting of Shurpanakha's Nose) illustrates a dramatic episode from the Hindu epic Ramayana, portraying Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana in the aftermath of Shurpanakha’s humiliation. Rama, with blue skin, a red-and-gold dhoti, and a quiver of arrows, stands with calm authority, reflecting his divine identity as Vishnu’s incarnation. Sita, in a red sari adorned with golden details, appears serene and dignified, embodying virtue and devotion. Lakshmana, shown as a youthful figure with a topknot and a green garland over a white dhoti, holds a sword, representing his unwavering loyalty and protective role. The serene forest backdrop, with lush greenery, distant hills, and a cloudy sky, provides a tranquil yet charged setting for this pivotal moment in the epic.
