Description

On the right, Khurshid, wearing orange, and Utarid embrace after a long separation. The three men standing on the left with heads hanging in shame have just confessed the misdeeds they committed against Khurshid. Upon admitting these transgressions, they are miraculously cured of the ailments that inflicted them.
A vertical manuscript page features black script across the upper third. Below, a pink pavilion houses two embracing figures in green and orange robes on our right. To our left, three figures in yellow, orange, and blue robes stand with bowed heads in a blue geometric courtyard. Beyond a pink trellis wall, green trees rise against a gold sky. The composition contrasts the intricate courtyard patterns with the figures' expressive, bowed postures.
