It reflects dharma as honoring a guest/ally with respect and proper offerings—upholding maryādā (courteous conduct) even amid distress.

As Sugrīva approaches friendship with Rāma, royal emblems like the parasol and yak-tail fan are offered as marks of honor.

Generosity and courtesy: the act of offering symbols of honor to establish a righteous alliance.
