Against a brightly colored red and green background, Khujasta meets with Tuti the talking parrot. In order to keep her from leaving to visit her lover, the parrot tells Khujasta a moralizing story about four friends who were given magical shells by a wise man. The flat planes of bold color were favored by Indian artists before the time of Akbar.
