Virahotkanthita Nayika Yearning for her Lover
The story
A woman pines for her absent lover on a moonlit terrace as two cranes pass overhead. She is one of eight archetypal heroines in Sanskrit love poetry — the one who waits and yearns. The silvered night drives home her loneliness. Painted around 1770 in Bundi.
