Summary

Description
English: The scenic painting is based on the love legends of Punjab Sohni Mahiwal and title of painting is "ਸੱਪ ਦੇ ਮੂੰਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੋੜ੍ਹ ਕਿਰਲੀ.." . The scene is of Sohni looking at an unbaked clay pot. She is facing a very tricky situation . It is like a lizard in snake's mouth "ਸੱਪ ਦੇ ਮੂੰਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੋੜ੍ਹ ਕਿਰਲੀ.." . If the snake swallows the lizard, it is poisonous and if leaves, then it gives a bad name to snake.

Sohni is also shown in a tricky situation. She used to swim across the river Chenab to meet her beloved Mahiwal with the help of a baked clay pot. One day her sister-in-law changed the baked clay pot with an unbaked one. It was pitch dark night. Sohni realized this. She was in fix. She had to go to meet Mahiwal, who was waiting for her across the river. She knew it was not possible to cross the river with the help of this unbaked clay pot. But to keep the promise made to Mahiwal, she takes the plunge into the river using the unbaked pot and was drowned in the river.

The artist has painted the night scene very beautifully. There are dark clouds in the sky. Moon is also shining through the clouds. The plants are dancing to the tunes of the wind. An owl, an ill omen, is sitting on the branch of a tree, looking at Sohni predicament. An alligator is also shown in river a indicative of dangerous situation. Yellow light of Mahiwal hut is also shown on other side of the river.
