In top margin, incomplete: '... bathing Sri Nathji...'
This painting depicts the ritual washing (snāna) of Sri Nathji which takes place twice daily. On the day of the Snan Yatra festival the image is bathed with water from the Jamuna river poured from a conch shell, whilst being offered 125,000 mangoes. The yellow border on this painting suggests an attribution of Nathdwara rather than Kota, which tend to have blue borders with a double white rule in the red margin (J. Bautze, 'Zur Darstellung der Hauptgottheiten Kotas in der Malerie der zweiten Halfte des 18. und der ersten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts' Berliner Indoloigische Studien, Bd.3, 1987, pp.123-38).
