Vintage “Bhratri Brata” Ramayana Mythological Print – S. C. Banerjee, Calcutta

A striking vintage Indian mythological colour print titled “BHRATRI BRATA”, depicting a dramatic forest scene from the Ramayana tradition, with Lord Rama, Sita and Lakshmana portrayed amid a dense and atmospheric landscape.
The composition is especially attractive for its deep colours and narrative quality. The figures are set against dark woodland, distant hills and a glowing sky, while the bow, arrows and traditional costumes immediately evoke the epic world of the Ramayana. The expressive poses and rich background give the artwork an almost theatrical quality typical of historic Indian popular printmaking.
The lower margin retains its original multilingual inscriptions together with important period publishing details. It is marked:
