A Royal Woman in a Pavilion: Desavarari Ragini of Dipak, from a Ragamala — Restored Rajput Wall Art

A sumptuous palace setting depicts the women’s quarters. In the upper register a woman approaches a bed made under a canopy on a terrace overlooking a lotus pool in the middle of which is a pleasure pavilion. An attendant holds a peacock tail feather whisk to indicate the royal status of the woman in the center; two musicians play drum and cymbals in the lower right.

Northwestern India, Rajasthan, Rajput Kingdom of Mewar, c. 1695. Original medium: gum tempera, ink, silver, and gold on paper.

Worth knowing: “Dipak” means lamp; one attendant holds a lamp; another is on a golden stand.

Faithfully restored from museum archives and printed on premium canvas-textured fine art paper, framed and ready to hang.
