"Indra Worships the Elephant-Headed God Ganesha, Seated on a Throne." Folio from the Tehri Garhwal Series of the Gita Govinda is a 1789 unspecified by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a man worshiping a deity. The man, dressed in dark blue and orange, kneels on the ground with his hands together in a gesture of reverence. In front of him, a large orange figure with an elephant's head sits on a golden throne, adorned with a yellow drape and a crown. The background features a lush green landscape with trees and purple flowers. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of harmony and balance in the scene. The contrast between the dark blue and orange of the man's clothing and the vibrant orange of the deity's skin adds depth and visual interest.
