Ragamala: Pictures for all the Senses

Soni, Sonika, Beltz, Johannes, Bhagwati, Annette, Zurich, Museum Rietberg,

Narrative miniatures Ragamala are pictures that illustrate classical pieces of music and poetry. This book explains the origins and significance of these Indian miniature paintings which unite different genres in a unique way. It presents selected examples and makes music and poetry audible through QR codes. Music acquires a human form whose emotions are explained through tiny details: the call of birds, passing clouds, lightning, the scent of flowers, a hidden tear. This lavishly illustrated multimedia book provides a glimpse into the mysterious world of Indian music, poetry, and painting.
