More Info
This lithograph, titled Devar Bhaujai and published by Hemchander Bhargava, captures a playful moment between a brother-in-law (devar) and sister-in-law (bhaujai) in a rural setting near a riverbank. A distant temple and village in the background add to the scenic charm.
The woman, dressed in traditional attire, leans against a tree branch with her left hand for support, her right leg appearing injured. She playfully raises her hand as if about to strike the man, who stands beside her holding a bow and arrow, seemingly amused by the lighthearted exchange. The artwork beautifully reflects the affectionate and teasing relationship often seen between in-laws in Indian culture.
