Descriptions Description Contained within a border of lotus blossoms is a scene in which a young female figure, the Todi Ragini, sits in the fork of a tree. She wears a gold skirt, cropped top, and a shawl that is draped over her head, her long black hair peeking out from underneath. She extends her right hand proper to a male black buck, which approaches with three female black bucks. Two female attendants stand near the tree, one of whom carries a "veena", a South Asian stringed instrument. A narrow, silvery stream runs across the foreground. The background is composed of bands of landscape in several shades of green, treetops, and a large, silvery band of river. At the top left are the rooftops of small buildings, and at the right is a fortified wall encircling a white palatial structure. Written twice on the reverse in Arabic script are the words “ragini todi.” Verification Level This record was created from historic documentation and may not have been reviewed by a curator; it may be inaccurate or incomplete.
