About this image
The loneliest woman in all of mythology sits beneath an Ashoka tree in the enemy's garden, dressed in white, meditating on her husband's name. Moonlight falls through the canopy onto Sita's bowed head, and somewhere in the branches above, a small figure hides -- Hanuman, carrying Rama's ring, about to deliver the news that rescue is coming. The Ashoka Vatika scene is the emotional core of the Ramayana's middle section. Sita has been abducted by Ravana and held in his garden in Lanka. She is guarded by Rakshasis who alternate between threats and persuasion, trying to break her resolve. She refuses everything -- food, comfort, Ravana's proposals. For months she sits beneath this tree, sustained by nothing but faith in Rama. The Ashoka tree itself is significant. Its name means "without sorrow" -- an ironic setting for the saddest chapter of Sita's life. But in another reading, the tree's name is prophetic: Sita's sorrow will end. The Ashoka Vatika is not her final destination. Hanuman's hidden presence transforms this from a scene of despair into one of hope. He watches from above, Rama's ring in his hand, waiting for the right moment to reveal himself. The rescue has already begun. Sita just does not know it yet. Free HD download for phone and desktop.
