Woman Addressing a Peacock: Gujari Ragini of Megh, from a Ragamala, c. 1680. Northwestern India, Rajasthan, Rajput Kingdom of Bundi or Raghogarh. Gum tempera and gold on paper; page: 31.2 x 24.8 cm (12 5/16 x 9 3/4 in.); miniature: 24.2 x 17.8 cm (9 1/2 x 7 in.). Gujari Ragini, a musical mode, is personified as the one who sings songs praising her beloved on experiencing pangs of separation. She sits on a throne outside a well-appointed chamber and holds her stringed instrument, the vina, in her right hand. Her songs have attracted a male peacock who dances to the tunes she sings. A pair of yellow birds take flight in the background.
