Romantic heroes of great courage and love, Rama and Sita share a moment of bliss together after all the trials they've been through. An avid admirer of tradition and custom, Nyoman Suwita hand-carves this endearing image, inspired the epic tales of the Ramayana. Suwita's dedication is evident in the precision detailing, exhibiting the beloved deities' ornate costumes.

This statuette is carved from suar wood, its rich and intriguing grain well used in the creation of this piece. An admirable piece certain to embellish any setting.

The legend tells that Lord Rama was sent into exile together with Sita by the evil king Rahwana, who later kidnapped Sita. Aided by Hanuman, the white monkey king, Rama embarks on a quest to rescue her, and defeating Rahwana. However, once freed Sita must prove that she remained faithful to her husband, so she suggests she’d be set afire for her innocence will save her. Unscathed, Sita and Rama are rejoined and live forever as the idols of eternal love.

Suwita may use different pieces of suar wood. Please note there could be slight variations in the dimensions presented or in the wood's natural hue and grain.
