Indian it is ... but what ?

Well, the central tondo depicts Durga killing the demon Mahishasura.

At least three avatars of Vishnu are recognizable - Matsya (fish), Kurma (turtle) and Narasimha, disemboweling Hiranyakashipu.

There is a possibility of at least one other Vishnu's avatar - Parashurama, depicted with axe, bow and quiver.

Perhaps there are also a couple of episodes of a certain tale, but I rather doubt it's Ramayana.
