A prince celebrating Holi with palace women on a terrace at night (recto)

The image depicts a colorful scene on a palace terrace at night. A man and several women are present. The man wears a pink outfit and a white cap. The women wear long dresses and head coverings in shades of pink, yellow, and orange. The group of people are gathered on a gray floor, with some seated and others standing. They appear to be celebrating, with one woman throwing colored powder. Several objects, including pots, a drum, and candle holders are on the floor. In the background, a large, ornate structure with a green roof and red and gold accents stands on the terrace. The structure has several pillars and appears to be a gazebo or pavilion. A yellow railing surrounds the terrace. Beyond the railing, trees and bushes are visible under a dark sky with clouds and a full moon. Two orange barriers are at the bottom of the image.
