Ca. 1900 Indian Ram Dabar Temple Token - Ramatanka
$225.00
These rare ramatankas or Hindu Ram Dabar Indian Hindu temple tokens were recently recovered as a group of unidentified coins from a large and old Virginia coin collection. Temple tokens were made for religious pilgrims to carry for good luck, and to receive blessings from the gods. They come with designs of Hindu deities and with various religious ceremonies being carried out in honor of them. On this token are Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and the monkey god Hanuman around a platform (dubar). The design comes from the great Hindu epic 'Rama's Journey' (the Ramayana). The two figures on the other side of the token are Rama with his half-brother and inseparable companion, Lakshman. The text on the token are in Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, and commonly reads 'Rama Lachhamana Janaki' or 'Rama Lakshaman janaki' and 'Jai bala Hanamanaka' or 'Jai bolo Hanuman ki.'
Great as a good luck charm or talisman.
You will receive one of the tokens shown (though feel free to specify and I will try to accomodate).
