"Ravana in Conference with the Rakshasa Captain" is a notable Pahari painting by the Indian artist Manaku, created circa 1720. Manaku, along with his brother Nainsukh, is a celebrated painter from the small hill state of Guler in the Pahari region, which is now part of modern-day Himachal Pradesh. This particular work is part of a series of illustrations made for the Ramayana, an ancient Indian epic that narrates the life of Prince Rama, his wife Sita, and the demon king Ravana.

The painting depicts a scene from the epic where Ravana, the ten-headed king of Lanka, is in a strategic discussion with his rakshasa (demon) captain. The artwork is a fine example of the Guler school of painting, characterized by its delicate lines, intricate detailing, and vivid use of color. Manaku's mastery is evident in the expressive faces, the detailed costumes, and the dynamic composition of the figures, which convey the intensity of the moment.

As a part of a larger manuscript, this painting not only serves as a visual retelling of the Ramayana but also showcases the rich tradition of manuscript illustration in the Pahari region during the 18th century. The work is significant for its historical and cultural value, providing insight into the artistic conventions and narrative styles of the period. It is preserved and studied for its aesthetic beauty and as a representation of the religious and mythological consciousness of the time.

The painting is an important piece in the study of Indian art history, particularly in the context of Pahari paintings, and continues to be a subject of interest for scholars, art enthusiasts, and general audiences interested in the visual arts and the cultural heritage of India.
