As the painting represents, Bharata and his family members, sage Vashishtha, Ayodhya's army and people reach the hermitage of sage Bharadwaja to get information of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana. Suiting to his regal position the artist has painted a royal tent house for distinguishing it and its occupants from the hermitage of a sage. Not only a royal tent, the artist has represented also different activities most of them related to court life. In this fortified camp sage Bharadwaja and sage Vashishta are shown seated face to face with the other royal personages. Outside the camp, an elephant and some horses are also seen. On the extreme left in the camp, the royal mothers are shown in white costumes sitting with their three daughters-in-law - Mandavi,Urmila and Shrutkirti. On the right side of the painting Bharata and Shatrughna are prostrating before Sage Bharadwaja before entering into the hermitage. Then they are also shown seated before the sage.In the foreground are shrubs, bushes, plants, with flowers or just foliaged, and the lake.
