This picture illustrates the following verse from Canto XII of the Gita Govinda:
bhramarachayam rachayan tamupari
ruchiram suchiram mama sammukhe
jitakamale vimale parikarmaya
narmajana kamalakam mukhe
"Arrange my tresses,
O beloved Krishna,
round my temples.
These are purer than the lotus blossom."
