Gauri Ragini is a 1760 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, depicting Radha, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman in bright yellow and red standing on a grassy hill. She’s holding a string with a small bell, and behind her are trees and a calm river. The colors are bold—greens, blues, and golds—with a fancy border around the scene. The woman looks like she’s part of a story, possibly from a well-known tradition. The way the scene is framed and the colors used suggest it’s meant to feel special and dreamy. Next, check out radha to see how this painting connects to its roots.
A painting from 1760, rendered in opaque watercolour and gold on paper, depicts a woman dressed in vibrant attire waiting in a forest clearing beside a lake, holding a garland in one hand and a flower fly-whisk in the other, as an illustration to the musical mode Gauri Ragini.
