This is my interpretation of Prince Rama and his princess Sita, the leading man and lady from the ancient Hindu epic known as the Ramayana. While most illustrations portraying these characters portray them as pale-skinned with “Caucasoid” northern Indian features, I opted instead for a darker brown “Australoid” phenotype like that of the Indian subcontinent’s aboriginal inhabitants prior to the influx of Aryan/Indo-Iranian tribes after 1500 BC. I believe it would have been these dark-skinned natives who erected the foundations of India’s urban civilization in the Indus Valley starting in 3300 BC.
