Chromolithograph of a woman in white drapery floating upward while a man on a balcony reaches toward her, with domes and clouds behind them.

Urvashi Flying Off to Heaven, Raja Ravi Varma Chromolithograph, 1896

A chromolithograph shows a flowing white-robed woman with long dark hair rising through the air, her hand touching a bearded man's raised hand as he kneels on a balcony beside an arched pavilion. Domes and soft clouds fill the sky, and Hindi and English captions appear along the bottom margin.
