Spot the Difference!

0 of 10 placed

All 10 differences found. Nicely spotted.

Panel 1
Spot the difference panel 1: the printed illustration
Panel 2
Spot the difference panel 2: the printed illustration with 9 verified changes

Drag a ring from the rack onto a difference on either panel: it locks in place on both once you find it. Pinch or double-tap a panel to zoom; the two panels stay in sync so the same region is always compared.

About this printed puzzle

Challenge your powers of observation with this spot-the-difference puzzle inspired by a scene from the Shangri Ramayana in the Cleveland Museum of Art’s collection, which titles it “King Dasharatha confers with Kaikeyi, from the ‘Shangri’ Ramayana” (c. 1700–1725, 1996.361). However, there are 10 subtle differences between the two versions presented here – variations hidden in composition, symbolism, and intricate details. Can you decode them all?

Text and artwork copied from the printed edition. The page prints no answer key, so all 10 differences were found from the edition file itself: an actual pixel difference between the two printed panels, with each changed region then checked by eye on both panels.
