Kamakandala dies on hearing the news of Madhava’s death, from a Madhavanala Kamakandala

Cleveland Museum of Art

A painting of a scene with a red border, depicting a man in a red outfit sitting on the floor with his legs crossed, holding a curved object in his right hand. He sits on a red floor with a yellow wall behind him, on a yellow and brown patterned rug, in front of a white archway; a black circular object rests beside him. Four people sit or kneel to his left, a woman in a white garment lies on the floor, and a man in a pink outfit rides a white horse to the right of the archway. The man on horseback and the seated man both wear circular black shields on their backs. The background includes a grassy area, a dark sky with stars and a crescent moon, and a blue-roofed structure behind the horseman. The style appears to be traditional Indian.
