About the painting
Lakshmi and Saraswati, the Hindu godesses of wealth, beauty and learning, stand in mirroring poses, echoing that of 19th century depictions of Krishna and his brother Balarama. Some of the pigments used consist of juice from the betel nut for red, and white clay known as Kusum mati.
