Rama - Sinta Statue at Yogyakarta , Java Tengah , Indonesia


During my recent visit to Indonesia I went to Yogyakarta to explore some Stone Carvings of Hindu God and Goddesses . Yogyakarta and its suburbs are famous for its Stone Carved Statues. 

On one pleasant  early morning I was walking with my camera. On my way  I curiously stopped  to see a black stone carved beautiful couple statue which was barely visible during the  the heavy traffic of the DAY. As I went close I found ARROWS  on the right shoulder of the Male Statue which were not visible from a distance . I was sure that they are Rama राम  and Sinta  सीता in Javanese Version. I was awestruck at the beautiful expression of the faces. I have never seen such a Romantic Statue of Lord  RAMA (Ram राम) and SINTA (Sita सीता ) .


 Colorful Graffiti at the back ground added charm to the Statue.


Still I wanted to confirm the Identity of the Statue and looked for somebody. Near the Statue I saw  an  Apotik (Chemist Shop)  " APOTIK  RATNA. There were  two Sales Girls at the shop whom I asked about the identity of the Statue. They were  little skeptical to confirm whether the Statue is of Lord  RAMA (Ram राम ) and SINTA (Sita सीता ). They called the Owner of the Apotik and with a deep smile confirmed back to me " Maaf Ibu ... Patung ini Prabu Rama - Sinta.  I smiled  and thanked them.


This Wonderful Stone Carved Statue of Rama - Sinta is placed at Jalan Parangtritis , Yogyakarta , Central Java , Indonesia.

This Short Video captured my blissful finding which was hidden between the shops at Pedestrian Pathway.
