A young maiden reaches up to grasp a branch of a sapling as her sakhi (confidante) plays a sarangi - a small stringed instrument.  Against a striking emerald-green background, their feet not quite touching the swath of landscape below.  A pond containing lotuses and waterfowl.

Klaus Ebeling (1973) has des🐽cribed the iconography of this Ragi💟ni as rare and found in Ragamala series' from Hyderabad only - an example being in the collection of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Vastu Sangrahalaya (formerly the Prince of Wales Museum), Mumbai (accession no. 22.3308).  Also in the same museum collection, see a related painting from Hyderabad dateable to the first half of the 18th Century "Two Women Beneath a Tree" (accession no. 22.3482).

An interesting related subject of a noblewoman re🌊aching up to hold a mango branch, very likely from Hyderabad (though described as from Bikaner) is in the collection of the Jameel Centre, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (accession no. EA2012.232).
