The haloed Ramadurbar occupies pride of place in any Indian heart and home. The Hindustani word ‘durbar’ translates to court and, in the court of Purushottama Lord Rama, there are all who have been indispensable to Him to Him in the succour of Devi Sita.
The prince of Ayodhya is the central figure in His own court. Drawn up in the glory of His regal stature, He holds in His left hand, almost without effort, a bow so long as to reach the zenith of His crown. His right hand rests upon the head of the kneeling Lord Hanuman, a picture of unconditional love and devotion.
To the right of Lord Rama is His brother, Lord Lakshmana. He is the son of Lord Dasharatha and His wife Sumitra, step-mother of Lord Rama. Similar to His brother in terms of attire and the crown on His head and the bow in His hand, He is slightly shorter in stature to Him and is somewhat turned towards Him. By having practically renounced His own hearth and family had this faithful brother of Lord Rama accompanied Him into prolonged vanavasa and stood by Him through thick and thin.
And the beauteous Devi Seeta stands to the left of Her husband. Clad in a saree and perfect shringar, She raises a hand in blessing over the devotees of Her great husband. The pedestal on which all four figures stand is embossed with lotus petals and a flower motif down the midline. At the peak of the aureole is an ornate Kirtimukham motif with a parasol at the top.
