It describes the beauty of Devi and the lines of the poem are carved wondrously over the canvas. The well-designed paintings are about the scenes of gods and goddesses interaction and their forms.

The use of vibrant colours and rustic presentation of scenes, make the divine beings hail from the heaven, which charms the spectator. Jayadeva’s experience and knowledge of the subject is clearly seen in his paintings.
