IMAGE number: BL3283015
Image title: Add 15296 (1) f.96r, Bharata and Shatrughna have performed their father's funeral rites and fourteen days later, after the prescribed period of mourning, the priests headed by Vasistha and ministers bring the necessary articles for coronation to Bharata in the throne-room. Bharata is seated on a small throne, not the elaborate one occupied by his father, with the urn with his father's ashes at the front. The floor is covered by a rich carpet in Mughal style. The chiefs of the army stand on the other side of Bharata and his brother. Bharata refuses to be crowned and announces that he will bring Rama back from exile and stay in the forest himself for fourteen years. He orders the army chiefs to prepare the way for him and the whole court to seek out Rama and bring him back to Ayodhya.
