Queen Kaikeyi reminds King Dasharatha about the sacrifices of King Bali and King Shivi, folio 39 from the Ayodhya Kanda (Book of Ayodhya) of a Ramayana (Rama's Journey)
A colorful illustration in a red and yellow frame depicts a scene. A blue-skinned man wearing a yellow dhoti and a green and red head covering and jewelry holds a pink lotus flower in one hand and a small figure on a red float in the other. A halo radiates around his head. Six other people surround him; one person lies on the floor next to a white doorway on the left. A man and woman sit on a platform to the right. Two women sit on the floor next to a fire. A pond with lily pads and a pink flower is in the bottom right corner. Black text in a foreign language appears on a yellow banner at the top.
