Indian popular religious prints have been published for nearly a century, first by German presses, later by Indian ones. The prints may take the form of calendars, posters, or simply images. The style of the representations is European. In the beginning they were Hindu images, but are now acquiring elements both of folk art and a romantic secularism. It is a living art currently influenced by the movie industry and non-Hindu religions. The images are a vehicle for advertising and are also used for religious purposes. This print was produced, framed, and displayed in a prayer room for 'puja' or worship.
Rama is the seventh incarnation of Vishnu and is identified by the 'u' shape on his forehead, the bow over his shoulder, and the presence of his wife, Sita, and brother, Lakshman. The sun on the throne is their family symbol. When Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, Rama, Lakshman, and Hanuman (also shown and identified by half-man, half-monkey features) fought to free her. When freed, Sita gave her pearl necklace to Hanuman. The golden mace indicates royal power.
