The goddess Rajamatangi is a 1820 paint by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a seated figure with a tall, ornate crown and a peacock perched on one shoulder. They’re dressed in bright purple robes with gold and red patterns, holding a curved instrument like a bow. The throne they sit on is decorated with intricate designs, and their jewelry sparkles with dots of color. The peacock’s green feathers stand out against the figure’s rich clothing, adding a touch of nature to the scene. The painting looks like it was made around 1820, based on the style and details. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like it.
The goddess Rajamatangi is depicted seated on a throne in the mukhasana position, holding a sarasvativina, while a parrot perches on her right shoulder. This drawing is part of a series of 100 Hindu deity illustrations created in South India in 1820.
