Synopsis

Raag Mala Painting by Klaus Ebeling is a landmark 1973 monograph that explores how Indian classical music’s raagas were brought to life through miniature painting. Spanning 305 pages and richly illustrated with colour and black-and-white plates, the book examines around 4,000 Ragamala artworks sourced from museums and private collections during Ebeling’s travels between 1967 and 1972.

Ebeling unpacks how specific musical modes were personified—as divine lovers, seasonal moods, or mythic scenes—and focuses on the popular “painters’ system” of 36 miniatures: six principal raagas, each with five accompanying raginis. Bridging art history, musicology, and cultural symbolism, this meticulously researched volume is essential for anyone interested in the visual and emotional language of Indian classical tradition.
