It is the afternoon time, and the young courtly daasi is ready to be in-service for the queen, as she takes a short nap and the king is in the kingdom busy at work. The lady removes her slippers as she reaches near the queen’s bed so that she doesn’t wake up with her slipper’s voice, fanning the queen, daasi feels that bliss of being able to comfort her lady with her service. The precision of Kailash Raj’s strokes and the intricacy of his skills can be analyzed by the soft and delicate expressions on the lady’s face; light makeup on her eyes and red lips add to the beauty of her personality.

The royal tri-coloured silk lehenga forms an amazing contrast to the black background. Every space of her garments is decorated in golden floral prints. The deep red choli, royal green lehenga and the sunflower-yellow chunri form an alluring combination of colours on her fair glowing plumage. The luscious pleats of her lehenga that form a flair like a fan as she walks, is beautifully painted in this royal art. Each of her garbs are zari embroidered along the border and decorated with glamorous red and green stones. The stone studded gold jewels form a major part of her attraction, royalty and beauty.

The rich blue coloured designer curtain collected on one side of the frame forms an amazing contrast to the bright colour palette used by the painter. As the young lady holds the chunri by her one hand, she maintains that order of respect towards her culture and towards the king and the queen, thus abiding by the societal norms. Painter’s focus towards the minute details such as the creases formed on her choli as she moves her hand, shadow effects, the delicacy of her face, accessorized hairs and the pleats of the curtain adds to the real essence of this watercolour painting.
