Sita and Laksamana

Bali, Jan 2005

Soon a cry for help is heard and thinking it to be Rama's voice, Sita asks Lalcsamana to go and see what is the matter. Reasoning that a divine prince Rama can come to no real harm, laksamana at first refuses the request. However when Sita accuses him of wanting his brother dead so that he can marry her, Laksamana becomes very angry and complies with her wishes, then leaving her alone unprotected.
