Nagendra had framed the pictures handsomely, and hung them on the walls.

One picture was taken from the Birth of Kartika: Siva, sunk in meditation, on the summit of the hill; Nandi at the door of the arbour.

On the left Hembatra, finger on lip, is hushing the sounds of the garden.

All is still, the bees hid among the leaves, the deer reposing.

At this moment Madan (Cupid) enters to interrupt the meditation of Siva; with him comes Spring.
