A Baramasa painting of the month of Āṣāḍha

A Kishangarh Baramasa painting representing the month of Āṣāḍha and the poetry of monsoon longing. The composition brings together female figures, musicians, peacocks, luxuriant vegetation and gathering monsoon clouds.

The upper register carries a Braj Bhasha savaiyā by Matiram. The combination of Kishangarh painting, the Baramasa tradition and an identifiable literary inscription makes this a rare and highly desirable work of Indian miniature painting.
