EDITORS COMMENTS
Patamanjari Ragini, the Fourth Wife of Bhairava Raga, is depicted in this exquisite folio from a Ragamala painting, created between 1700 and 1750. The Ragamala series, a garland of melodies, is a popular genre of Indian painting that originated in the Deccan region of India, now in Rajasthan. The exact creator of this piece remains unknown, but it is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia during the 18th century. The scene unfolds on the exterior of a grand palace, with a porch adorned with intricate decorative motifs. Patamanjari, a young woman with a melancholic expression, is seated on the porch, consoling an upset Bhairava Raga, depicted as a man with multiple arms and the head of a fierce, horned animal. Patamanjari is Bhairava's fourth wife, and according to legend, she was his confidante and consolation during his most difficult moments. The painting is executed in opaque watercolor and gold on paper, with intricate details that bring the scene to life. The autumnal colors of the foliage and the cool tones of the palace walls add to the serene and contemplative atmosphere. The border of the folio is adorned with delicate floral and geometric patterns, adding to the overall beauty and elegance of the artwork. This folio is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its importance as a work of heritage art from India. The painting invites us to reflect on the complexities of human emotions and relationships, and the power of art to capture and convey them.
