This poignant painting depicts a scene from the Mahabharata, where Savitri, a devoted wife, pleads with Yama, the god of death, to spare her husband Satyavan's life. Satyavan lies lifeless under a banyan tree, while Savitri's unwavering devotion and determination are evident in her posture and expression. Yama, mounted on his buffalo, listens to her plea. The artwork highlights the power of love and loyalty in the face of mortality.
