A couple sits on a striped carpet (durri) inside a brightly lit chamber. The man stretches his arms, apparently having just awoken, while the woman kneels before him in a gesture of address. Architectural details on the second floor include niches for bottles and red curtains rolled up to allow a breeze to pass through colorful bamboo screens.- {{cite web|title=A Couple in Their Chamber in Early Morning: Vighada Ragaputra of Shri, from a Chamba Ragamala|url=false|author=|year=c. 1700|access-date=19 April 2024|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
