Description
Rama sits in front of the empty hut, while his brother Lakshmana explains why he left her alone. The Lord of Birds, the giant vulture Jatayu limps over a hill in the distance, still weighed down by the stones he swallowed. He approaches to tell Rama and Lakshmana that the demon Ravana abducted Sita.
