A couple in their chamber in early morning: Vighada Ragaputra of Shri Raga, from a Ragamala is a 1700 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a man stretching in bed while a woman kneels beside him in a sunlit room. The walls have little shelves for bottles, and red curtains are rolled up to let the breeze through bamboo screens. This painting comes from a *Ragamala*—a set of Indian pictures that pair music and mood. Each image matches a melody and time of day. Here, the morning raga called Shri Raga feels warm and quiet. To see more paintings like this, visit The Cleveland Museum of Art.
A couple sits on a striped carpet ( durri ) inside a brightly lit chamber. The man stretches his arms, apparently having just awoken, while the woman kneels before him in a gesture of address. Architectural details on the second floor include niches for bottles and red curtains rolled up to allow a breeze to pass through colorful bamboo screens.
Vigadh is also known as vihaga , a word for “morning” in Pahari languages.
