EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Raja Mandhata as a musical mode, ca. 1690" takes us back to the vibrant and enchanting world of 17th-century India. Created by an unknown artist, this artwork showcases the rich heritage and artistic brilliance of the Mughal era. In this portrait, we see a distinguished male figure sitting cross-legged in a lotus position on a flying carpet. His regal posture and majestic headgear reflect his royal status as Raja Mandhata, while his turban adds an element of elegance to his profile. The intricate details of the Persian carpet beneath him further emphasize opulence and sophistication. Surrounded by lush trees and colorful plants, Raja Mandhata seems immersed in deep contemplation or perhaps lost in the melodious tunes emanating from his surroundings. This portrayal cleverly merges nature with music, symbolizing harmony between man-made art forms and the natural world. The use of opaque watercolor on paper gives depth to every stroke, enhancing the overall visual appeal of this masterpiece. As we gaze at this image captured centuries ago, it reminds us not only of India's cultural richness but also its contributions to scientific institutions like Smithsonian Institution's Arthur M Sackler Gallery. With its unusual concept and humorous undertones, "Raja Mandhata as a musical mode" stands out among other ragamala paintings from that period. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding Indian history and artistry while offering viewers a glimpse
