A couple dances in the rain, accompanied by two female musicians. The man has blue skin and is dressed as Krishna. White birds fly above. The rain is depicted as a continuous curtain of white spots. A scrolling floral pattern fills a band at the bottom of the painting. An inscription, in a saffron-colored box, appears above the image. The whole is surrounded by a narrow red border.
