This carved lintel depicts the pomp and celebration of Rama's coronation as king of Ayodhya, following his fourteen-year exile. Two rishis or priests with pitchers are seen pouring holy water on Rama, seated in the centre with Sita to his left, to mark this auspicious occasion. They are surrounded by musicians and well-wishers. The carving is all the more remarkable for its intricate detailing. The details of the musical instruments, the jewellery, the folds of the clothes and the expressions on their faces are masterfully captured.
