Brief Description

A young heroine is seated on the terrace of a house. A maid standing in front of her is making a gesture with her hands to the lady to proceed to meet the hero. The lady is looking towards the maid servant intently, her hands are resting on the cushion and she is perhaps making up her mind to go to the hero. The lady is fair complexioned, has clear black eyes, has black hair on the head, well dressed and tresses falling at the back. She wears a green coloured choli, an ordhni. The maid wears a mauve choli, a yellow ordhni and a blue ghagra. Her fingers are dyed red.

The lower portions of both figures are missing. A door with orange frame is seen in the centre of the house which has white wall topped with orange tile work and a mauve dome. To the right near the dome is seen a minaret, the other one to the left is damaged.
