**Svayamvara of Damayantī.** Damayantī is borne by her maidens on a *palki*, round the court where suitors are assembled. A maiden on her right carries the garland to be placed on the accepted suitor's neck. Sarasvatī, four-armed, with her *vīṇā*, walks to the left, in front. The procession approaches Nala, who sits with the four Devas disguised in the shape of other Nalas. Devas and Siddhas haunt the sky. Unfinished drawing, partly coloured.
