Raga Chandra Painting

The beautiful images in Ragamala Paintings personify the visual aspects of the various melody types in Classical Indian music. A melody type or mood is called a Raga. The structures of individual Ragas include its scale, center tone, and progressions. Improvisation then evolves from these basic structures. The Ragamala Paintings (or Garland of Ragas) depict the characteristics of the Ragas as human and animal characters interacting with one another.
