The red mat around the artwork is what makes this piece different from its black-bordered twin. Red is an auspicious colour in Indian tradition, and its warm tone changes the feel of the piece, making it look brighter and more festive. Inside, the deity stands in a colourful crown with a blue peacock fan and pink and orange garments below, with a gold arch above. The carved golden outer frame is broad and detailed, so the painting looks framed like a temple picture rather than a plain wall hanging. Choosing between red and black borders is mainly a question of wall colour and room mood.

Bihari ji, or Banke Bihari, is the presiding deity of the famous temple at Vrindavan and is loved for his tribhang pose, bent at the neck, waist and knee. Devotees say his gaze is so affecting that the temple curtain is drawn at intervals during darshan. A painting of this form brings that Vrindavan devotion into the home, and it is among the most requested subjects in the Madan Bihari Products range.
