GUNKALI RAGINI

This illustration captures the beauty and grace of a Gunkali Ragini. A traditional north Indian classical dance. The nayika is seated atop a takhat, a low stool, on a terrace outside a pavilion, holding a kamal in one hand and a paan in the other. The handmaiden stands beside her, offering her the treat, while another plays a dafli, an Indian percussion instrument. The light reflects off the jewellery adorning the nayika, adding a sparkle to the scene. The graceful poise of the nayika and the serenity of the setting create a beautiful and captivating image.
