Proshitabhartruka Nayika represents the lady in despair because her lover is away. She rearranges the folds of her sari in frustration as her sakhi attempts to console her. Her inner turmoil is echoed outside as the dark clouds open up and strutting peacocks welcome the downpour of the monsoon rains.
