A ragamala (garland of ragas, or musical modes) is a unique genre of painting that may be termed "pictorial music". It represents a series of musical modes that correspond to emotional states generally associated with specific times of day or seasons of the year. Musical modes may be male ragas or female raginis, and each is expressed in terms of human love.
