A horizontally oriented manuscript page features black and red Indian script surrounding a central red circle. On our right, Indra, a figure with a light skin tone, sits on an ornate blue throne beneath a gold canopy. Facing our right, Indra wears a gold crown and garments with hands raised toward script on the far right. Vertical red borders divide the central text from a left column and the enthroned figure.
