Abhisarika Nayika ("The Heroine Going to Meet Her Lover at an Appointed Place"). "Night scene: a woman walks between two groups of trees. She looks down over her shoulder at a golden anklet, which has apparently just fallen off. Several snakes appear at her feet, including one which has wrapped itself around the base of a tree at the right. Above there is a multi-forked bolt of lightning. Attribution to Mola Ram of Garhwal was made by a descendant of the artist, Balak Ram Sah." (French)
