At the center, Lord Rama and Goddess Sita are depicted seated under a decorated canopy, embodying grace, virtue, and royal dignity.

Surrounding attendants hold lamps, fans, and auspicious offerings, creating an atmosphere of festivity and reverence. The painting is adorned with vivid natural colors, fine detailing, and intricate geometric borders, hallmarks of the Madhubani style. The bright yellow background enhances the spiritual aura, symbolizing divinity, joy, and auspiciousness. Overall, this artwork reflects the rich cultural heritage of Mithila, where art becomes a medium of storytelling, devotion, and timeless tradition.
