In this painting, the lovers are seated on a terrace, and in the background are flowering shrubs and trees in which birds of many kinds are warbling in music. The lady is describing the charm of Chaitra (March-April), and exhorting her husband to remain at home. The painting illustrates the following poem of Keshavdas from the Kavipriya :
Lovely creepers are in bloom, blossoming
trees are young once more,
And streams and lakes are full of flowers.
Women,aglow with passion, dressed in their best,
Abandon themselves to sports of love.
The parrot, the maina and the koel are singing songs of love.
Why think of going away, why spoil this joy
in the month of chaitra, my love ?
