A vertical ink drawing depicts two figures with rounded bodies and simplified features. Shiva stands on the left, his blue-gray skin textured with repeated, short lines. He wears a striped yellow garment. To our right, Parivati, in a purple sari with wavy lines, reaches out with elongated arms to hold a garland. Arcing lines define their eyes and mouths, while frenzied dashes form their crowns. The scene is set against a plain background.
