Kevat carries Ram, Sita and Lakshman in Boat.
When Lord Sri Rama reached the forest with Sita and Lakshmana they had to cross river Ganga.
This brings about a sweet episode in the Hindu epic Ramayana. Kevat, the boatman halts and chides Rama while he was boarding.
He says that with the touch of the dust of Rama’s feet a stone turns to another being (alluding to the story of succour to Ahilya).
He doesn’t want his boat to turn into anything else. Thus Kevat rejoices in having an opportunity to touch and wash Rama’s feet.
It is noteworthy that Kevat could have asked anything from Lord Rama. But he chose to ask for an opportunity to serve.
This attractive picture has been entirely dot painted requiring many hours of mindful focus, dedication and patience.
