Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Battle at Lanka, Ramayana by Sahibdin (1649-1653)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A c. 1649-1653 painting depicting the Battle at Lanka, the climax scene from the Hindu epic Ramayana by the Muslim artist Sahibdin. It depicts monkey army of the protagonist Rama (top left, blue figure) fighting the army of the demon-king of Lanka, Ravana in order to save Rama's kidnapped wife Sita. The painting depicts multiple events in the battle against the three-headed demon general Trisiras, in bottom left - Trisiras is beheaded by the monkey-companion of Rama - Hanuman.
Reason
Rather strange image as it is a depiction of the great climax war of the Hindu epic Ramayana (there are only 2 Hindu epics) by a Muslim artist Sahibdin from the Mewar school of Rajput painting. It is high resolution. Also a FP at commons and Turkish encyclopedia, but a failed FPC here as it got only 4 supports, including the nominator.
