Die junge Laienmalerin Baua Devi malt ihren Lieblingsgott Krishna auf Büttenpapier. Sie verwendet bunte Basarfarben, die sie mit Flüssigleim anrührt und mit trockenen Grashalmen und selbstgefertigten Wattestäbchen aufträgt.

The traditional of ritual painting on walls and on the earth is the basis of the development of commercial painting on paper. One of the most gifted and patronized painters of the younger generation, Baua Devi, is painting, especially for this film, an image of Krishna, her favourite god. The execution of the figure adheres to a traditional scheme regulating the sequence of painting, which also characterizes mural painting. A dried grass-stalk is used for drawing, dried stalks wrapped with cotton wool for colouring. The painter begins by drawing a border on the paper surface; she finishes the painting by drawing the god's eye.
