Detailed Description
The painting depicts a group of figures in a colorful natural landscape. In the center, a blue-skinned man with a golden crown and yellow dhoti embraces a woman wearing a pink and white sari. They stand under a large, dark green leafy tree, facing each other with their hands gently touching. The man's left arm is around the woman's waist, and her right arm is around his shoulder. Several other women are positioned around the central pair. To the left, two women in orange and white saris stand close to the embracing couple, looking towards them. Below them, another woman in a dark patterned sari sits on the ground, looking up. To the right of the central tree, four more women are visible. One woman in an orange sari stands near the tree, looking towards the couple. Below her, another woman in a striped yellow and white sari leans against the tree, while a third woman in an orange sari kneels on the ground, looking down. A fourth woman in an orange and white sari stands further right, partially obscured by the tree. The background features rolling green hills on the left, with scattered trees. A winding river with dark green lily pads flows from the left foreground towards the center background, where several white birds stand on its banks. The ground is covered in green grass with small yellow and white flowers. The overall color palette is dominated by greens, blues, yellows, and oranges, with dark outlines defining the figures and landscape elements.
