From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

The sound that serves as the basis for this musical mode is the voice of the cat. Paintings of Patamanjari Ragini are set on the outdoor terrace of a fine house, complete with niches holding vessels. The heroine sits in front of a bolster on a green floral carpet that the artist has tilted up so as not to obscure its pattern. The spotted gray cat appears shy, and the heroine is trying to entice it with a morsel, while she gestures for it to come. A young girl and her companion play with a cat to pass the time.
