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.
