One wouldn't even think of taking a dip in a river on a cold #Delhi #NewDelhi day.
But, love knows no bounds & Sohini did just that, to meet Mahival in this c1780 AD #Mughal #IndianMiniaturePainting from #Lucknow or #Farrukhabad #Awadh #India (John C & Susan L Huntington colln sold by Christie's).
Written in 18th century, Sohini Mahiwal is a popular tragic romantic story of #Punjab
In the end, she drowns trying crossing the flooded river an a faulty pot, replaced by her jealous sister in law.
