Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular painting with a red border depicts a scene divided into two horizontal registers, with a band of text at the top. The top edge features a narrow strip of light blue sky, below which is a light orange band containing black script. The script reads: "श्रीश्रीराधासुखसंवादपायोनिधिः। तत्रापि श्रीसुखसंवादकेवलागाधासप्तमी। श्रीकृष्णउवाच। अदिराधाशामलासायाः। राधापीराससुखकेवलागाधासप्तमी। फूलामनुरागसायाः। तत्रापिराधासुखकेवलागाधासप्तमी। श्रीसुखसाराधा कोथा। तदसभीअष्टपदी। २२ श्रीश्रीउदारासोमाननकोजराधाः। ढोलमूलसुंदो।" The upper register, set against a light orange ground, features two large, dark green trees with dense foliage and small white birds. To the left, a blue-skinned male figure with a golden crown and orange dhoti sits on a patterned rug, gesturing with his right hand. To his right, a light-skinned female figure with a yellow top, red patterned skirt, and jewelry sits on a large, red patterned cushion, looking towards the male figure. Further right, two more female figures are present: one stands, wearing a blue patterned skirt and red top, holding a long, thin object; the other sits to the far right, wearing a yellow top and patterned skirt. Several tall, slender, light brown palm-like plants are interspersed throughout this section. The lower register is set against a green ground with various plants and small white flowers. To the left, a large, dark green tree and a smaller, light brown palm-like plant are visible, with a peacock featuring blue and green feathers near the tree's base. In the center, a red architectural structure resembling a small shrine or alcove, with a white archway decorated with green foliage, contains two white vessels on a small table. Above them, two white, U-shaped symbols hang. To the right, two more female figures sit on the green ground: one wears a blue top and orange patterned skirt, looking towards the center; the other, to the far right, wears a yellow top and red patterned skirt, holding a small white flower. Various small white flowers and green plants are scattered across the green ground.
