In this joyous and richly detailed painting, Rounak Rai presents the celestial wedding of Ram and Sita, the culmination of love, destiny, and divine order in the epic Ramayana. Titled Ram Sita Vivah, this composition captures not just a matrimonial ceremony but a spiritual convergence, witnessed by gods, sages, and the people alike.
The central figures—Ram and Sita—stand adorned in regal red and ivory, their expressions composed, graceful, and inwardly radiant. Around them, their brothers and companions—Lakshman, Bharat, Shatrughna, and their brides—stand in harmony, forming a rhythmic, almost musical composition. Above, elders and divine figures observe the moment with folded hands and satisfied hearts.
The crowd below—hands raised in jubilation—expresses the collective joy of Ayodhya and Mithila, reflecting the public celebration of an ideal union. The pink palette with deep red accents emphasizes love, purity, and auspiciousness.
The text inscribed above reads:
“Ram Sita ka vivah, jo divyata aur maryada ka anokha prateek bana. Sabhi ne harsh se is divya milan ka swagat kiya.”
(The wedding of Ram and Sita became a unique symbol of divinity and dharma. All rejoiced and welcomed this divine union with love.)
With folk-inspired linear motifs and a modern emotional depth, Rai once again transforms mythological narrative into an immersive cultural memory—alive, celebratory, and deeply rooted in Indian tradition.
