Shurpanakha demands vengeance, from the "Shangri" Ramayana
The image depicts a vibrant scene from the "Shangri" Ramayana. The scene shows a large yellow boat with people in it, surrounded by a brick wall. The boat contains several figures, including one wearing red clothing and a throne-like chair. The boat has a curved shape and a decorative edge. There are several people standing on the brick wall, some of whom are wearing animal-like masks or have animal features. Some of the people on the wall and in the boat are holding weapons. In the background, there are several buildings with domed roofs and a blue sky. The border of the image is red with black writing. The image appears to be a painting or drawing on a rectangular piece of paper or canvas. The overall scene appears to show a dramatic and possibly violent confrontation.
