EDITORS COMMENTS
This folio from a Ragamala painting, created between 1685 and 1690, showcases Bhairavi Ragini, the first wife of Bhairava Raga. The painting originates from the region of Basohli in Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, India, and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Hindustan during the seventeenth century. The image portrays Bhairavi Ragini standing next to her husband, both adorned in vibrant apparel. Bhairavi Ragini is depicted with a serene expression, her sari draped elegantly around her, as she tenderly strokes the head of a blind bull, an attendant animal believed to represent devotion and affection. Bhairava Raga, the god of fear and time, is shown with a fierce countenance, his body painted in red and white, symbolizing the dual nature of love and destruction in Hinduism. The painting is executed in opaque watercolor and gold on paper, with intricate details that bring the scene to life. The couple stands under a sunshade or awning, adding a sense of intimacy and privacy to the scene. This beautiful artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a reminder of the profound cultural and artistic traditions of South East Asia and the intricate narratives woven into Hindu mythology.
