If you are wondering about the Hindu mythological story behind the painting. Here it is:

Once Sage Vishwamitra was perfoming a very difficult meditation. Indra, the king of gods, feared that once completed, the meditation would make Vishwamitra very powerful and he would even able to conquer heaven. So Indra sent Menaka, a beautiful celestial being (apsara) of his court, to earth.

Meanwhile, Vishwamitra had performed all the rituals and was engaged in meditation, which would complete his transformation. Menaka went to the forest where Viswamitra sat with his eyes closed. She sang, danced, made garlands of fragrant flowers and put them around Vishwamitra's neck to attract his attention. All this disturbed Vishwamitra and he opened his eyes. His meditation was broken. When he saw the beauty of Menaka, he wished to marry her. They got married and had a daughter, Shakuntala.

Once Menaka's purpose on the earth was over, she went back to heaven, leaving behind a sad Vishwamitra.

Thus, you should always focus on self-improvement and never be distracted by pretty women.

I mean if she is that open about what she is doing it seems less annoying.

"I feel bad, say something nice about me." is a lot better than "Ugh, I'm so fat............WHY AREN"T YOU TELLING ME HOW I'M NOT FAT!?!?"
