Bangali Ragini
Artist/maker unknownImage 1 of 21 / 2
The musical mode called Bangali Ragini is envisioned in this painting as a woman worshiping the moon. Bright moonlight illuminates the vividly colored figures, while the spare gray architecture heightens the isolated mood. The heroine gazes longingly at the remote moon, yet her entreaties remain unanswered; even her attendant averts her eyes and remains distant.
