Vahagada (Vihgada) Raga is a 1700 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two women in bright, bold colors. One stands in a blue dress with gold jewelry, holding a fan. The other sits on a red couch, dressed in pink and purple, with a small table beside her. Behind them, a crowd of tiny figures lines a balcony, and a palace with orange roofs looms above. The women’s outfits are detailed with patterns and embroidery, and the background has a flat, decorative look. The scene feels lively, with strong lines and flat colors.
