Devagandhari Ragini is a 1680 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting features a serene scene with a figure in white, adorned with a red sash, seated cross-legged in a red alcove. The figure has long black hair and is surrounded by a yellow mat and a white wall with a red roof. Above, a yellow floral border adds a touch of vibrancy. In the background, a light green area depicts a tree, flowers, and birds, while a second figure in white and green floats upside down, holding a leaf. The painting's use of contrasting colors creates a sense of depth and visual interest. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns and textures throughout the composition.
