Devagandhara Ragini: An Ascetic in Retreat, from the Ragamala Series is a 1760 unspecified by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a quiet scene with a small white pavilion in the center. Around it, people and animals relax in a garden: a man sits under a tree, goats graze, and birds wade in a pond. The colors are bright—greens, reds, and golds—with a red border framing the whole image. The tiny details matter: the person near the pavilion looks like a holy man, while the text at the top hints at a story about music and nature. This style comes from a specific place and time, but the artist’s name isn’t known. Next, look up the Bundi-Kota school to see how this painting fits into its tradition.
