The lone woman wears an orange skirt under a sheer brown sari with gold patterns. She offers some grass to one of four deer that approach her with enthusiasm. She holds a blue and gold vina and faces to the viewer’s left. A poetic verse in Sanskrit describing Ragini Todi is inscribed within the upper yellow border.
