**Installation of the image of Śrī-Nātha-jī.** The greater part of the picture is occupied by the hill Govardhana: in the top left-hand corner a cow is offering her milk to the buried image, on the right the image is being installed, presumably by Nimbārka. Below on the left are other Tailaṅga Brāhmans, with offerings, with folded hands outstretched in adoration. On the right two Rājput princes paying respect in the same way to the Brāhmans, and two princesses or *gopīs* with offerings of milk. In the foreground groves, villages, reservoirs, and pavilions. Rājasthānī (Nāthadvār), 19th century. Size of the original 9¼ × 13 in. Collection of the author (vol. ix. f. 42). Vol. i, p. 41.
