Detailed Description
The image is a horizontal painting on a light brown ground, featuring a central red panel. In the center of this red panel, a golden-skinned figure sits cross-legged with hands resting in its lap, adorned with a multi-tiered crown, large circular earrings, and multiple necklaces. This figure has four arms; the lower two hands hold a smaller, similarly posed figure. The central figure wears a patterned lower garment and sits on a prominent yellow, cloud-like or flame-like base that extends across the bottom of the red panel. To the left and right of the central figure, two bearded male figures kneel, facing inward towards the central figure. They have darker skin, wear conical hats, and are dressed in patterned lower garments and sashes. Each kneeling figure holds an ornate, lidded vessel with both hands, extending it towards the central figure. Above each kneeling figure, a white bull stands, depicted in profile and facing away from the center. The background of the central panel is a solid red, with faint, stylized floral motifs visible behind the figures. On the light brown ground to the far left of the red panel, black text is visible, which reads: वामीते हिहिति. Below this text is a solid red circle. Further below, more black text reads: वामवाद चारणा. Additional black text is visible on the light brown ground on the far right edge of the painting.
