A Woman Charms Snakes in the Wilderness: Asavari Ragini, from a Ragamala
The image depicts a woman surrounded by snakes in a natural setting. The woman has dark hair and wears a pink top, a green skirt, and jewelry. She sits on a rocky outcropping with her right leg bent and her left leg extended. Her hands are raised in front of her, and several snakes are coiled around her body and on the ground nearby. The rocky outcropping is covered in pink, yellow, and green. A tree with a thick trunk and yellow flowers stands behind the woman. The background features a blue sky and green foliage. The entire scene is framed by an orange border, with black text written in a foreign language at the top.
