Ragachitra: Deccani Ragamala Paintings – Dr. Daljeet

Description

The hitherto unpublished and exclusive set of forty-four Deccani ragachitras sourced from the National Museum, Delhi are a treasure trove of aesthetic beauty. Combined with detailed prose – stating how these forgotten paintings came in the possession of the National Museum and virtually transporting the reader to the bygone era of royal splendour – they spin a tale of joyous festivity and pastoral simplicity, set amidst nature’s bounty. A feast for the eyes, Ragachitra: Deccani Ragamala Paintings dwell upon the intrinsic features of medieval Indian miniature paintings depicting the Indian ragas in the beautiful Deccani and various other styles as well-Mughal, Provincial Mughal, Malwa, Bundi, Uniara, Pali, Folk Marwar, Bikaner, Shorapur, Kangra, Basohli, Chamba and Jammu and Kashmir, to name a few.
