Painting, in opaque watercolour and gold on paper. Sudama returns to his home and is bewildered to find in place of it a golden palace, the gift of Krishna. A gate-keeper urges him to enter while courtiers and others watch the spectacle. Sudama's wife welcomes him at the entrance. Above the gate are a gallery of musicians. An elephant and a pair of horses await his orders. An illustration to a Krishna Sudama series, Bhagavata Purana.
