"Ragini: The Melodic Essence of a Punjabi Lady and Her Hawk" In the vibrant world of Indian art, the captivating figure emerges, adorned with intricate details and rich colors. Represented as a Punjabi illustration of a lady accompanied by her loyal hawk, Ragini embodies the essence of musical modes. Dating back to the late 17th century, Kedar Ragini from the ragamala series showcases an exquisite portrayal of this enchanting character. With delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork transports us to an era where music was revered as divine. Nat Ragini takes us on another journey through time with its page from a Jaipur Ragamala Set created between 1750-70. Its unknown creator skillfully captures the grace and elegance that define this particular ragini. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the melodious notes resonating in our ears. Malashri Ragini continues this visual symphony with its own page from a Jaipur Ragamala Set. The artist's mastery is evident in every stroke, bringing forth Malashri's persona with utmost finesse. Panchama Ragini invites us into its realm through yet another page from a Jaipur Ragamala Set. This mysterious creation leaves room for interpretation as we explore Panchama's unique melodic expression. Moving forward in time but still immersed in tradition, we encounter various other raginis such as Bhairavi, Asavari, Gaund, Kamod, Vibhas, and Dhanashri within pages from different sets originating around 1750-70 in Jaipur. Each one tells its own tale through vivid imagery and evocative symbolism. These artistic gems not only celebrate music but also pay homage to women who were considered custodians of melody during those times. Through their representation alongside hawks or other elements significant to their respective ragas, these raginis embody the power and beauty of music.
