Rasamanjari

Also known as Rasamanjari of Bhanudatta

The Rasamanjari ('bouquet of delight') is a Sanskrit poem by Bhanudatta that classifies types of lovers, heroes and heroines. It became a favourite subject of Indian court painting, and the illustrated series made at Basohli in the late 17th century, including a set signed by the painter Devidasa in 1694–1695, are among the masterpieces of Pahari painting.
