The Demon Sambar Throws the Infant Pradyumna into the River
A vivid opaque watercolor miniature shows a red-robed figure on a green shore at left, with a red-leafed tree behind, while turbaned men in brown boats paddle across a blue river. White wave bands and a large dark fish-like form in the water fill the scene, and Devanagari inscriptions run along the red border.
