This print showing Rama's Marriage dates to 1913. According to the Ramayana, Lord Shiva had gifted a celestial bow to King Janaka of Mithila. King Janaka set the condition that he would marry his daughter Sita to the person who would be able to string Pinaka, the bow of Lord Shiva. In the assembly of the court of King Janaka, Rama effortlessly lifted the bow and stringed it, and then, stretching the bowstring to examine its tautness, Rama unintentionally broke the bow, the sound of its breaking resounded like thunder and the earth trembled.
