summary:
  en: A Jyotiṣa manuscript contains 52 illustrations depicting various deities such as Sūrya, Candra, Bhavānī, and Sarasvatī, as well as sketches of birds and animals. The manuscript discusses good and bad omens associated with these figures. Some illustrations also highlight aspects of daily life and feature images of mythical creatures. Out of the 52 illustrations, only 22 are accompanied by text explaining the omen related to the particular image. A few incomplete, upside-down, or overpainted illustrations can be found in the manuscript, suggesting that it may have been a work in progress. According to the numbering, verse no. 32 contains the words "Noor Luk" written in Urdu using the Nastaliq script. This may indicate the name of the painter. This assumption is further supported by verse no. 36, which contains the phrase "Dastakhat Musawir Noor Luk" in Urdu, meaning "signature of the artist Noor Luk. (Written in 3 lines per leaf.; 70 leaves foliated 1–70, upper left and lower right verso.; Mistakes covered over in white or blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins; significant syllables, words, or phrases highlighted in red throughout; borders marked with yellow line; paintings throughout often over painted with second drawing or painting, many unfinished.)
