Pradyumna and Samvara fight with maces: Leaf from the "Large Basohli Bhagavata Purana"

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a painting of two figures, Pradyumna and Samvara, engaged in a fight. The figure on the left is a white creature with a long tail, resembling a monkey or demon, wearing blue shorts and a gold belt and necklace. The creature has sharp teeth and claws, and its hair is styled in a ponytail with gold accents. The figure on the right is a man dressed in a yellow robe and turban, holding a mace. Above them, two maces are crossed in mid-air. The background features a red wall with a blue and white sky at the top, and the ground is covered in green grass. The overall scene shows the two characters in a confrontational stance, with the maces suspended above them.
