The scene is laid on the terrace of a palace. As lightning strikes the sky and dark deep clouds gather in the sky, the large eyed and round faced nayika rushes back, but before she can enter her house, a loving peacock sitting on a tree draws her attention.The nayika is wearing a 'lehanga' and a 'choli' with transparent 'odhni'. She seems to be assuring the bird that, the moment rains stop she will come back and feed it honey. Stormy clouds with golden streaks of lightning and rains are seen in the background. A golden 'chauki' with cushions is laid under the tree. The painting posses a decorated border.
