About the piece

This intricate Indian miniature painting from around 1900 illustrates the Raga Hindola and Ragini Telangi, musical modes personified through visual narrative. The composition is divided into two registers: an upper assembly of courtly and divine figures including Brahma, and a lower scene featuring a woman on a swing attended by maidens, all rendered in a vivid, traditional palette typical of the period.
