Photo de stock - Bharata and the army cross the Ganges, The two princes have now resolved to wear ascetics´ garments like their exiled brothers. Bharata tells Guha to fetch enough boats to convey them all over the Ganges and he provides five hundred. They all then cross the river in flat_bottomed boats driven by paddles and by steersmen with long poles. The largest boat, in which are the princes, the Brahmins and their advisers, has a canopy and also a screen, behind which are the queens. Other boats convey the horses and the soldiers, while the elephants with their baggage are driven across by their mahouts. Some men swim across and are helped out of the water by Guha´s people on the far bank. Image taken from Ramayana, Ayodhya Kanda. Originally published/produced in Udaipur, 1650.
