Bahuli Ragini is a 1800 paint by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three women in bright, patterned clothes sitting under a tree. The woman on the left stands with one hand raised, while the other two sit on a red cushion, holding small objects. A crane stands on the ground below, and the background is filled with green leaves and pink sky. The women’s clothes have intricate designs, and the scene looks peaceful but busy. The text at the top is in a script that isn’t English. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A painting in opaque watercolour on paper depicts a scene from the musical mode Bahuli Ragini, showing a woman seated on a couch while a maid attends her by waving a facecloth, as a confidante approaches.
