The flute is the main detail in this painting, which shows Bihari ji in the bent posture that inspires devotion. Yellow and pink garments give bright colour against the black background, and the wide gold arch above him is hung with strings of pearl-like beads that gently sway across the design. Small golden animals at the base add a decorative finish. The figure is lively and balanced, and the composition has a lot of movement for a small-format piece. At this size the detail work on the beads and the ornaments is a good measure of the artisan's skill.

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.
