Answer:
Explanation:
The theme of Rama vanquishing the pride of the ocean has been taken from
Valmiki’s Ramayan, in which Sri Rama has been shown vanquishing the pride of the
ocean. In one of the topics of the Ramayana, Sri Rama,together with his monkey-army,
prepares to go to Sri Lanka so that Sita could be go t released from the clutches of
Ravana. But the huge ocean has blocked their way. Sri Rama requests the ocean to give
them way but the ocean does not budge even an inch. Sri Rama, being angered, takes up
his bow and warns the ocean to eradicate that. Raja Ravi Varma’s artist mind gives shape
to that moment-Sri Rama has been shown on a rock of the shore near ocean, in angry
mood holding a bow in his left hand and an arrow in right hand. His clothes give the
feeling of blowing the air .The waves advancing very swiftly from the ocean towards the
shore, striking off the rocks seem to be dispersing like white milk; whereas in middle of
the distant waves have been shown three human figures,in the middle the big shape is of
ocean(the god of sea)who has shown lifting both his hands up requesting Sri Rama not to
do so, while two small shapes are of the gods of acquatic creatures who are frightened
and are entreating Sri Rama for forgiveness of their creatures. In background, with the
blend of dark colour, has been shown the sky in middle of which has been shown bright
flash of lighting .In this painting, the placidity of colours is capable to attract towards it
the attention of anyone. This painting manifests the display of light and shadow, the
qualities of European style of art and inkling of rhythmicity in linear delineation
