Later Shakuntala falls in love with King Dushyanta and gives birth to a child called Bharata after whom India was first named. .This oil painting of Menaka and Vishwamitra sized 24by 36 beautifully depicts the denial of the sage after seeing Shakuntala his child in Menakas lap .He was baffled by seeing this and couldn’t believe in his actions .The eyes of the sage shows the regret and the fire that was blowing in him at that particular point of time .
