Vijnaptipatra are letters sent to Jain monks by a community, inviting the spiritual leaders to spend the monsoon in their hospitality. For a closely related example, with a similar sequence of paintings, see P. Pal et al., Dancing to the Flute: Music and Dance in Indian Art, 1997, p. 127, 138-139, cat. no. 86.
