Description

This folio is the first in the series. The composition is set in a geometrical palatial setting with four chambers. In one room, a man dressed in royal garb holds a scale in front of Madhava. A woman curiously observes the scene from the chamber above. In the middle, a priest sits reading a text, and a warrior occupies the space at the right, holding his shield.
