Kedara Ragini is a 1680 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two scenes inside a walled garden. In the top scene, a woman sits on a raised platform under a small pavilion, surrounded by other figures. Below, a man and a child sit under a large tree, while a horse gallops in the courtyard. The colors are mostly muted earth tones, with some bright reds and greens in the borders. The top scene looks like a formal gathering, while the bottom scene feels more relaxed. The horse’s movement contrasts with the stillness of the people.
