About Indian Miniature Art An Illustration to a Ragamala series Shankara Ragaputra of Megha raga
A ragamala, translated from Sanskrit as "garland of ragas," is a series of paintings depicting a range of musical melodies known as ragas. Its root word, raga, means colour, mood, and delight, and the depiction of these moods was a favoured subject in later Indian court paintings. The celebration of music in a painting is a distinctly Indian preoccupation. The unifying subject of a ragamala is love, which is evoked as a range of specific emotions (rasa) that have a corresponding musical form. In paintings, these are typically the trials and passions of lovers, which are explored in both sound (raga) and analogous imagery, with a raga generally understood to denote the male protagonist and a Ragini the female. These musical modes are also linked to six seasons—summer, monsoon, autumn, early winter, winter, and spring—and times of the day, dawn, dusk, night, and so on.
