Description

Depicted in the present painting is the Asavari Ragini which forms part of a dispersed ragamala (series of musical nodes). This raga is performed in the morning. It shows a woman or a heroine (nayika) who is trying to charm snakes scattered all over the painting through her music. Following the convention, the woman is depicted as a solitary figure. The sky is dominated by a golden sun with its rays spreading in all directions. The painting is done in Deccan style. (Mandira Sharma)

Extracted text

The top of the painting bears an inscription in Persian (to be translated).
