    It's good to know that you are still around Ruby. I find the second one of Princess Damayandhi and the swan very wistful and appealing.

    GB - Thanks!! Yes, you are right. The picture is the scene where Damayanthi is separated from her husband, Nala and is yearning for him as she speaks to the swan.
