This black-and-white line illustration portrays a woman in classical South Indian attire-featuring a draped sari, elaborate jewelry, and a floral hair adornment-seated within an intricately carved archway. The arch is decorated with hanging vines, lotus motifs, and flanked by stylized banana leaves, while she holds what appears to be a ceremonial lamp or vessel beside a tiered kalash (ritual pot). The composition evokes themes of devotion, auspiciousness, and cultural heritage, common in temple art and festive iconography.
