A major portion of the museum's collection includes monochromatic pencil sketches, pen and ink drawings on postcard and paper, watercolour paintings and sketches apart from the more detailed and elaborate tempera and wash paintings, Haripura posters and prints from the artist's extensive oeuvre. This particular sketch depicts the lower body of a Yakshini, mythical beings known to guard the treasures on earth and must have served as an elementary drawing for a painting.
