Yogini painting is attributed to an artist about whom we do not have any record.

The theme of another Deccani painting is Yogini — one who believes in yoga, leads a disciplined life of physical and emotional training, pursues spiritual and intellectual explorations, and is famous for renunciation of worldly attachments. But such an attitude was not usual, and therefore, extraordinary in practice. This work is attributed to an artist, about whom we do not have any record. It is to be noted that the artist prefers a vertical composition, where the long standing figure of the Yogini is complimented by a group of white structures right at the top, as a tapering, visual note. The Yogini is preoccupied with a myna bird as if in conversation. The Yogini is adorned with jewellery and her hair bun elongates her visual presence. The long scarves swirl in rhythmic circle around her body, which has exquisite flora surrounding it in exquisite landscape.
