The ragamala, or “garland of ragas” painting tradition popular throughout varied Indian schools of painting, visualizes ragas, or musical modes, through heroic personification, color, and mood. The scenes associated with each raga are fixed, yet the artists are allowed considerable creative autonomy in the depiction. Depending on the mood of the piece, the specified scenes may vary from the depiction of a personal devotion to a god, to a pair of lovers locking glances on a hindola. This ragamala, representing Pancham Ragini, depicts a noble lady entertained by music.
