Description

A king sent the courtesans to a forest ashram to convince the ascetic boy Rishyashringa to come back with them to the palace. The king believes that Rishyashringa's presence in the palace will bring about the end of a drought. Rishyashringa had never seen a woman before and was completely bewildered by them.
