    "description": "The Sanskrit text at the top describes the dancing woman in the doorway, who personifies the musical mode (\"ragini\") called Saindhavi:     Wearing bangles on both hands and making [viewers] completely intoxicated,      here comes the smart and happy girl Saindhavi, with movements [as graceful as]      an elephant's.      Clad in a red blouse, skilled in lovemaking, and adorned with breasts like      waterpots and lotus-petal eyes more beautiful than an antelope's,this is Saindhavi Ragini.",
