A horizontally oriented gum tempera and ink painting on cream paper depicts three women with medium-dark skin tones, including Saindhavi Ragini, on our left. They wear bright, patterned garments and stand near two deer. On our right, a hexagonal, two-story pavilion houses a blue peacock. A yellow, floral-patterned wall separates the figures from a dark blue sky with white birds. Three horizontal lines of dark script occupy the top margin.
