n this panel Parvathi, the consort of Lord Shiva is portrayed in a affectionate but somewhat upset mood.Her head is turned away from Shiva. The theme revolves around a game of dice the couple played. Parvathi seems suspect Shiva probably cheated her in the game. This is one of the very popular Shiva-Parvathi mythological themes in many art depictions.
