The images depict the main characters from the Ramakien, Thailand's national epic representing the Siamese / Thai version of the Ramayana. They are taken from Professor Satya Vrat Shastri’s book “Ramayana in Southeast Asiaâ€�. These images depict in detail the complexions, facial expressions, head-gears, number of arms and heads and the postures, evidence par excellence as how Thai Muse had conceived them. The Ramakien does not necessarily follow the Valmiki Ramayana in the delineation of the episodes
