Inspired by the Nayika-Bheda in Indian art, this oil painting presents to the viewer the delicate emotions of a "Vipralabdha Nayika", who had bedecked herself in the hopes of union with the beloved, but met only with disappointment.
Angered and disheartened, the youthful heroine begins to remove her ornaments. The Nayika in this painting is a stunning female, dressed in red, hinting that it was probably her wedding night when she was deprived of her beloved's presence.
Glimmering golden ornaments and exquisite embellishments of her attire add a sense of regalia to her presence. A pearl necklace, the first piece of jewelry taken off is held by the Nayika in her hands.
When the most precious of her Sringaar (her lover) is not to be found, what use does the Nayika have for mere pieces of shining metal?
