Painting of a crowned man in red bending toward a haloed figure in a dark circle above a tree, with people, cattle and fields.

A mythological scene: a man kneels with folded hands as he sees a vision of a boy with a halo around his head, as other people look on in amazement. Gouache painting by an Indic artist.

A gouache painting in vivid colors shows a crowned man in a red cape bending forward on the right, while a seated haloed figure floats in a dark circle above a large tree. Figures with raised hands gather at left beside a green ring of flames, and cattle and villagers work in fields beyond.
