Detailed Description
The painting is a vertical rectangular composition divided into two horizontal registers, with a block of text at the bottom. The top register features a red background with a dark blue sky at the upper left, where three small, stylized buildings with pointed roofs are visible. A large green canopy with leafy branches extends from the right, shading the central figures. On the left, a woman in a green patterned sari and a man in a yellow dhoti and turban are seated, facing right. The man holds a dark rectangular object. On the right, two figures are seated on a low, raised platform. One wears dark grey robes, and the other wears striped light brown robes; both face left and are gesturing. The bottom register has a dark grey-purple background with scattered red and orange flower-like shapes. On the left, a woman in an orange sari is seated with her hands raised near her head. Next to her, a man in a yellow dhoti is seated, also with hands raised near his head, looking right. He has a mustache. On the right, two figures, similar in appearance to those in the top register, are seated. One wears dark grey robes and holds a dark rectangular object and a staff. The other wears striped light brown robes and holds a staff. Both face left. Several small, dark pots are scattered on the ground in this register. Below the two registers is a light brown block containing several lines of dark script, with some words highlighted in red. The number "१२" is visible in the bottom right of this text block.
