Goddess Ganga
The goddess Ganga on her mount, the Makara. Characteristic of the paintings from the Shekhavati region are the multiple draperies in strong colours (green, red) at the upper edge of the picture. Acquired in Ramgarh; especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the havelis of wealthy merchant families with corresponding needs were located in this area.
