Prageeth delves into the rich mythology of Hanuman, the revered monkey god, as depicted in the Ramayana. This exploration serves as a conduit for understanding the profound historical and cultural ties between India and Sri Lanka. The presence of Hanuman in the epic serves as a powerful symbol of shared heritage, emphasising the interconnectedness of these two nations through the tapestry of Hindu mythology.


In Prageeth's imagination, the imagery and symbolism connected to Hanuman's role in the Ramayana serve a dual purpose. On one hand, they represent a vibrant tapestry of cultural exchange, while on the other, they adopt a critical perspective on the potential threat of subjugation. By examining how the imagery of Hanuman is portrayed and interpreted, peaking out from inside the lotus field, Prageeth brings attention to the dual narratives.
