The designs on the roof of the bridge passage compliment the gate as they too are composed of interweaving lines in a charpai or chequer board pattern. The artist hails from Rajasthan but is schooled in the style of Mandana wall painting. the dominant colours used are shades of grey, and sage green, and hey give a texture to the roof area.

The choice of colour is extremely unusual for folk artists who often revel in the range of bright colours now available to them in commercial paints, and it is here perhaps that one sees the influence of the ideas of the museum personnel.
