This amazing artwork has been carved by tribal wood craftsmen from teak wood of Bastar. In which Bharat and Shatrughan are also depicted in the court along with Lord Shri Ram, Mother Sita, Lakshman and devotee Hanuman. In this work of Shri Ram Darbar, Lord Shri Ram and Mother Sita are seated on the throne and along with devotee Hanuman, the three brothers of Lord Shri Ram are also seated near them.
It is noteworthy that Chhattisgarh is the maternal birthplace of Lord Shri Ram, the land here is the land of his mother Kaushalya. There are footprints of Shri Ram in Chhattisgarh from Surguja to Bastar. It is believed that Shri Ram spent most of his exile period in Chhattisgarh. This is the reason why Lord Shri Ram has great importance even in the tribal community of Bastar.
