The painting depicts a Yali, a mythical creature deeply rooted in Hindu mythology and widely featured in South Indian temple architecture. This piece, rendered in watercolor on paper and framed for display, brings the powerful presence of the Yali into your home. The Yali, often described as part lion, part elephant, and part horse, is a chimera that embodies immense power and strength.

The artwork showcases the Yali in a stylized form, consistent with the traditional Ganjifa style.
