EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio from a Ragamala (Garland of Melodies) painting, featuring Shri Raga, dates between 1850 and 1900. The creator of this opaque watercolor and gold on paper masterpiece remains unknown. Ragamala paintings originated in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the regions of Rajasthan and South East Asia, and were a popular form of entertainment in the Hindu and Jain courts. The scene depicts a tranquil wintry evening, with a terrace serving as the idyllic location for a musical soirée. Radha and Krishna, the beloved deities of Hinduism, are seated together, surrounded by their consorts and various mythological characters, including Gandharva, Tumburu, and Morchal. Radha, played by the female figure, is shown in a thoughtful pose, holding a fan, while Krishna, portrayed by the male figure, is engrossed in the music played by the musicians. Narada, the god of music, is seen in the background, playing his vina. The group of attendees, both male and female, are lost in the enchanting melodies, their faces expressing various emotions of joy and delight. The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, transporting us to a bygone era of leisurely evenings filled with music and mythology. This precious artifact is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and the enduring allure of its ancient traditions.
