Ragamala paintings are highly symbolic visual interpretations of Indian music previously envisioned in divine form by musicians and poets. They generally depict romantic and devotional situations in an aristocratic setting. The word ‘raga’ derives from the Sanskrit root – ranj – which means to tinge or to colour and evokes love, passion and beauty.
