Garland of Rāgini
Depicting stylised palms and lotus blossoms on a tranquil river, this mural is based on a ragamala illustration to the musical mode Kakubha Ragini, which flourished in the royal courts of India in the 1700 and 1800s. The unifying theme of a ragamala is love, which is portrayed through a variety of emotions with corresponding musical forms. The struggles and desires of lovers, frequently depicted with peacocks as symbols of an absent beloved, were created in most schools of Indian painting. This contemporary take, which is available in two colourways to convey the night and day aspects of this significant genre of painting, captures the enthralling symbolism, history and artistry of the original and gives the impression that a woman has just wandered out of sight in search of her beloved in the enchanting garden.
Archive inspiration: Illustration to a rāgamala series, ink and opaque watercolour on paper, Deccan, southern India, about 1700.
