The Monkey Expeditions
(British Library: Mewar Ramayana)

From the Library site: The monkey forces have scoured the northern, eastern and western regions in vain and return to tell Sugriva and Rama of their disappointment. Sugriva sits on a rug under a royal umbrella and is offering pan (betel-chews) to the two brothers like any Rajput to his guests. They are surrounded by monkeys tumbling over themselves in their eagerness and agitation.
