Nanda and the Elders in Council with the Cowherds, from a Bhagavata Purana
The image depicts a serene scene with a group of people gathered near a body of water. A man sits on a yellow platform, surrounded by others standing or sitting around him. Some individuals hold objects resembling sticks or staffs. In the background, several animals, possibly deer, are visible. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a building with a white tower on the left side. The sky above features a yellow hue with green and orange tones at the top. The entire scene is framed by a thin black line within a wider orange border, which appears aged and worn. The image also features a body of water in the foreground with pink flowers floating on its surface.
