Bather
A semi clad nayika is seated near a lake formed by a stream emerging from a hill, which is given a moster-like form. On the right hand side, in the middle distance, is a huge tree under which the nayika's clothes and ornaments are stacked. Behind the hill is suggested a temple complex in distance built on one side of the lake. The whole environment appears to be a quite spot blocked by the hill, where women could bathe in privacy. The female figure is rendered in minute details such as her open hair cascading in waves from her head and framing her beautiful bare torso. She is stll wearing her ear ornaments, nose ring, necklace and bajubandha, the upper arm ornament.
