Queen Trisala and the Newborn Mahavira: Folio from a Kalpasutra Manuscript
The image shows an aged, rectangular piece of paper with a vertical red line on the left side and two red circles, one on the left and one on the right. The left side contains black text written in a non-Latin script, likely Devanagari, arranged in paragraphs. The right side features a colorful illustration bordered in red, with a blue section at the top adorned with gold designs. Inside the border, a seated figure with a crown-like headpiece and a blue garment sits on a throne-like chair with a patterned seat. The figure has a neutral expression and rests their right hand on their knee and their left hand on the armrest. Behind the throne, a standing figure wearing a blue garment and a crown-like headpiece looks down at the seated figure. The background of the image is beige.
