Sugriva challenges his brother Vali, King of the Forest Dwellers, to a duel, folio 10 from the Kishkindha Kanda (Book of Kishkindha) of a Ramayana (Rama’s Journey)

The image shows a colorful painting of a scene from the Ramayana. A man with white skin and a long red nose, wearing a white and red outfit and gold crown, stands facing right. He has his right arm raised and his left arm extended. His right leg is slightly bent. He appears to be standing on grass. To his right is a pink rocky cliff with a blue cave. To his left are several trees and three figures. One figure is climbing a tree; he is white-skinned and appears naked except for a loincloth. The figure climbing is surrounded by two other figures. A blue-skinned figure with a long tail stands beside the tree. The blue figure wears a decorative necklace. A third figure stands behind the blue figure; he is orange-skinned, wearing an orange and yellow outfit and appears to have his hands together in prayer. The background shows a green field and blue cloudy sky. The painting has a red border.
