Serpents coil around Rama's monkey troops and Laksman (Thai Ramayana mural)

Serpents coil around Rama's troops, as seen in a mural detail at the Emerald Buddha Temple. Rama's monkey allies struggle but many lay strewn on the ground, tangled in snakes. Towards the top left corner, the green-skinned Rama sits beside Laksman who is lying bound by a serpent. Once the serpents bind Rama's men, the troops begin to lose consciousness.
