Vessantara Jataka, Chapter 2 (Himavanta Forest), c1850-1870. In this scene, we see Prince Vessantara giving his prized white elephant to a group of brahmins from a neighboring kingdom. A white elephant was believed to bring rain and prosperity. Vessantara sits atop the elephant, surrounded by symbols of his royalty. He pours water into the brahmins' hands as a sign of the gift being given.
