Punaki Ragani is a 1700 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two people in bright colors. The man stands in a yellow outfit with red trim, holding out his hand. The woman sits on a decorated platform, wearing green and gold, and takes something from him. Behind them is a simple building with a red roof and a small tower. The bright colors and bold lines are typical of the time. The scene looks like a quiet moment between two people, maybe sharing something important.
