About this work

This painting showcases a vibrant scene with multiple figures and elements. At the center, a large orange figure sits cross-legged on a red throne, surrounded by smaller scenes. To the left, a man kneels on a blue and red mat, while to the right, another man stands holding an object. Below, two men are depicted: one sitting on a tiger, and another standing near a pond with a bird and flowers. The painting's use of bright colors and intricate details suggests a rich cultural heritage. The central figure appears to be a religious icon, possibly a deity or spiritual leader. The Detroit Institute of Arts holds this piece, which offers a glimpse into the world of Jainism.
