A raas leela pichwai of Shrinathji on a full moon night. At the top of the frame, the moon is prominently displayed along with a clear star-speckled sky. Outside among the banana and mango trees, Shrinathji plays the raas leela with his gopis. Multiple forms of Krishna are found among the gopis, holding hands and making a circle in the centre of which Krishna dances with his favourite gopi, Radha (whose divine status is underscored by a halo). Other singers and musicians stand in two groups on either side of the pair.
