<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 3818585, member: 8267&quot;]I think the second image may be depicting a scene from the Ramayana where the bad guy, Ravana, is &quot;deceiving Sita with the illusion of Rama&#039;s head&quot;. Ravana is usually depicted with multiple heads and multiple arms. &quot;He commanded the magician, Vidyjjihva to create the illusion of Rama&#039;s severed head and his bow and arrows in order to trick Sita into thinking that Ravana&#039;s forces had defeated Rama in battle.&quot; <a href="https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-1879517" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-1879517" rel="nofollow">https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-1879517</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I think is a south Indian illustration from the Ramayana, showing Ravana in blue, and Rama in green (which may relate to your first image):</p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Rama_and_Hanuman_fighting_Ravana%2C_an_album_painting_on_paper%2C_c1820.jpg/220px-Rama_and_Hanuman_fighting_Ravana%2C_an_album_painting_on_paper%2C_c1820.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_of_Ramayana" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_of_Ramayana" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_of_Ramayana</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In your first image, I don&#039;t think the blue fellow is a god. He looks more like a yogi/teacher. I would assume it also depicts something from the Ramayana, but not sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] might recognize what is going on?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
