EDITORS COMMENTS
Lalita Ragini, the Fifth Wife of Bhairava Raga, is depicted in this stunning folio from a Ragamala (Garland of Melodies) painting, dated to the 1650s. The artwork originates from Madhya Pradesh, in the Malwa region of Central India, and is an exquisite example of the rich artistic heritage of Hindustan during the seventeenth century. The scene unfolds in a serene bedroom pavilion, adorned with intricate architectural details and decorated with vibrant colors. Lalita, a beautiful young woman, sits on a raised platform, her graceful figure clad in elegant attire. She is shown in a moment of deep devotion, her eyes closed in rapt attention as she listens to the melodic strains of music played by a young man on a horseback, riding towards her. The scene is filled with a sense of tranquility and romance, as the morning sun casts a warm, golden glow over the room. The artist has skillfully used opaque watercolor on paper to create a richly textured and detailed image, with the figures and architectural elements rendered in exquisite detail. The use of contrasting colors, such as the deep blue of Lalita's attire and the warm reds and golds of the pavilion, adds depth and vibrancy to the image. The Ragamala tradition of painting originated in South East Asia and was popular in India during the medieval period. These paintings were used to illustrate the stories of the various Ragas, or melodies, and their associated emotions. Lalita Ragini is one of the many Raginis, or consorts, of Bhairava Raga, the god of time and destruction. This beautiful folio is a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to evoke deep emotions and feelings within us.
