The arrangement of the several episodes of the story in this fresco reflects great ingenuity on the part of the artist, for each part looks separate from the other while all together form a connected tale. The delineation of some figures is also most artistic, particularly the figure of the lady at the inner entrance of the monastery, near the steps, whose pose and expression are indeed a vision of the Indian ideal of feminine beauty and elegance.
