English: Rama and his procession reach the banks of the river Sarayu outside Ayodhya, while Brahma and the other gods appear above to witness Rama's ascent. Rama enters the waters at bottom left and ascends to heaven. His brothers, monkeys, bears and other humans accompany him. They willingly sacrifice their lives in order to ascend to heaven with him. This delightful painting depicts the entire populace of Ayodhya witnessing the heavenly event, some plunging into the waters in order to attain moksa or liberation. They are shown ascending to the celestial realm with Rama at top left. Mewar Ramayana. Artist Unknown, Udaipur, 1653. British Library Add MS 15297(2), f. 113r
