English: "Painting of Indra on his elephant mount, Airavata. Painted in South India (probably Thanjavur or perhaps Tiruchchirapalli)

Indra is depicted red-skinned and covered in his all-seeing eyes. In his two right hands he carries weapons - a sword and a thunderbolt. In front, an attendant walks with a spear. Behind walks another attendant carrying a large parasol which shades the king of the gods.

On laid and water-marked European paper with 'W Thomas'. Elsewhere in the series the date 1816 appears in the watermark."

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.
