"The paintings herein on the theme of Rama's wanderings during his exile and his adventures in the forest as narrated in the Great Indian epic the Ramayana are from Chamba, an important Centre of Pahari painting, situated in the Ravi Valley in the heart of the Himalaya mountains. To its north-west lies the state of Jammu-Kashmir. Chamba was till recently the capital of a small principality. Being protected naturally, and too small to attract an invasion, its archaeological wealth is well preserved."
