An intricate Mithila style painting depicts five pivotal women of the Ramayana—Urmila, Kaikeyi, Shabari, Tara, and Mandodari—arranged in a sequence of arched panels. The artwork is characterized by the traditional Madhubani aesthetic, featuring vibrant natural pigments, fine hatched lines, and symbolic motifs like peacocks and lotus flowers. On the far left, Urmila stands against a celestial night sky, symbolizing her long vigil of sacrifice. Next to her, Kaikeyi is portrayed in regal attire holding a scroll that dictates the epic's course. The central figure is an elderly, seated Shabari offering a bowl of berries in a gesture of pure devotion. To her right, Tara appears poised and intellectual, holding a staff of wisdom. Finally, Mandodari is shown on the far right against a palace backdrop, holding a lotus and a lamp to signify her moral strength. The entire composition is framed by an ornate border of fish and floral patterns, emphasizing the profound and often unsung contributions of these women within a rich folk-art tradition.
