Three women in patterned garments inside an ornate building, one holding a mirror, another a fan
Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular image is framed by a plain orange border. The upper portion depicts an architectural setting under a dark sky, while the lower and main section features three women within an ornate interior. In the upper left, a multi-story building with white walls, red doors, and green windows is visible, topped with a yellow roof structure. To its right, a dark blue-black sky contains a radiant yellow sun-like form on the left. Below the sky, a white arched structure with a green interior and decorative finials rises. The text "बलावलरागनी" is written in black script in the upper right corner. The main scene below is set in a room with a red wall on the right and a dark green arched alcove on the left, separated by white pillars. Two women are seated on a patterned rug on a raised platform on the left. The woman on the far left wears a red and white patterned garment, her right hand near her ear, possibly adjusting an earring. She has dark hair, a nose ring, and various pieces of jewelry. The woman next to her, to the right, is dressed in a yellow and green patterned garment and holds a small, framed mirror, reflecting the face of the first woman. Both seated women face each other. On the right side of the room, a third woman stands on a lower step, facing left towards the seated figures. She wears a blue and green striped skirt, a pink top, and a dark sash, holding a large, dark, fan-like object with a handle over her right shoulder. She also has dark hair, a nose ring, and jewelry. On the red wall behind her, a small framed picture is hung. Two white vessels are placed on the floor in the bottom left corner. The floor is light gray with steps leading down towards the bottom edge.
