Detailed Description
The image displays a horizontal page, light brown in color, featuring both text and a painted illustration. The majority of the page, including the top, bottom, and left sections, is covered with lines of black script, interspersed with occasional red characters or markings. On the right side of the page, a painted scene unfolds against a green background. To the left within this scene, a red architectural structure with a brown roofline houses a group of five figures standing on a low, light-colored platform. From left to right, the first two figures wear green and blue garments respectively, both facing right. Next is a bearded man in a white dhoti and turban, extending his right arm towards a dark-skinned figure. This dark-skinned figure, dressed in a yellow dhoti, faces left with both arms raised. To their right, a figure in a red and white patterned garment faces left, holding a long, thin staff. Further to the right, on the green background, a two-wheeled chariot is depicted. It is pulled by two horses, which are predominantly white with black spots and adorned with red and black harnesses. A figure in a green garment sits in the chariot, holding reins in one hand and a stick in the other. Above the chariot, a faint blue and white cloud-like shape is visible against the green.
