Madhmadhyavi Ragini is a 1750 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two figures sitting on a rooftop at dusk. The person on the left wears a pink outfit with gold patterns, sitting cross-legged on a cushion. The other figure leans in, dressed in a blue and pink sari, holding a fan. Around them are a few small objects: a hookah, a tray with a pipe, and a lamp. The background is dark with a sky full of clouds. The bright colors and intimate moment suggest a quiet, private scene. The red border frames the image like a window into another world.

The painting depicts *Madhmadhyavi Ragini* from a Plains Ragamala series, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper around 1750. It shows lovers seated on a terrace, accompanied by a huqqa. The scene captures a moment of intimacy within an architectural setting.
