Here, Ragini Devagandhari is potrayed as a love lorn young girl. She, uncovered above the waist but adorned in jewels offers �datura� flowers and jasmine garland on the �linga�. She is seeking the blessings of Lord Shiva for the safe return of her love. The �puja� (worship) accessories, mainly the incense burner in the shape of a bird, are conspicuous in the picture. The painting is based on Raga Devagandhari. It is a rare ancient raga. Historically, it has three forms and is performed in morning hours.
