This painting belongs to a series illustrating the Rasamanjari (Essence of the Experience of Delight), a fifteenth-century Sanskrit love poem by Bhanudatta devoted to the expression and classification of the moods and emotions of the nayaka (\u200ahero-lover) and nayika (\u200aheroine-loved). It originated in the first treatise on dramatic arts, Bharata\u2019s Natyashastra. In this highly charged scene, enlivened by bold coloring and spatial ambiguities, Parvati is pleading with her husband, Shiva, who has just cheated her out of a necklace in a game of chaupar. The symbolic use of color and gesture is a signature feature of the Basohli school of this period.Free picture Shiva and Parvati Playing Chaupar: Folio from a Rasamanjari Series integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
