Lal Nath Hindu College, Rohtak, Haryana – 124001 E-mail : [email protected] ABSTRACT India occupies an exalted position in the realm of art of the ancient world. If greeks excelled in the portrayal of the physical charm of the human body; the Indian were unsurpassed in transmitting the spiritual contents to their plastic forms embodying the high ideal and the common beliefs of the people. Indian art & music is deeply rooted in the religion. India is the birth place of three, of the world's great religions Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and these faiths have inspired most of our Indian art. Art & Music is very well connected to each other. Raagmala painting & music has interconnected to each other. The pictorial representation of the ragas of Indian music are essential for formulating the imaginative impulse which is responsible for transforming the notes of music into concert a forms or images. The pictorial representation of the ragas is necessary for visualizing the aesthetic or emotive essence of the ragas. In India as well other countries painting was a pin to literature and abstraction that was achieved by the painting and by music in India, there are appropriate melodies for the various seasons, there are paintings of musical modes and there are also Bramasi or seasonal lyrical poems. With their simplicity of line skillful orgnaisations of masses by mean of deep colours. Music is essentially an abstract art, allied to painting, it helps the letter to achieve a degree of a abstraction that is normal to music, directing the human soul of being, which is behind all patterns of sounds, shapes and colours. Ragmala painting shows the whole mood of Indian Classical ragas. Keywords : Music, Ragmala paintings, interconnection sculpture In an age, when reading and writing are rare accomplishments, the art of painting, and sculpture plays a part in national Indian art which are reviewing. Art, religion and education had no existence apart from each other as they have in this age of specialization thought and culture. And like all true artists, they were keen observes and lovers of nature. Their art was glowing with spontaneous warmth and fantasy like the nature, which inspired it. The main sources of our knowledge of our Indian music and its history are manuscripts, epigraphs, sculpture and painting. A proper recognition of the value of these sources provide a counter check to eliminates, obscure episode, correct wrong concepts, or identification and produce finally a clear and authentic narration. Sculptures, paintings, stones are our historical sources as we are linked with our oral tradition. Sculpture is almost as old as mankind. For uncounted years, men evolution is marked International Research Journal of Management Sociology & Humanity ( IRJMSH ) Page 96 www.irjmsh.com IRJMSH Vol 10 Issue 6 [Year 2019] ISSN 2277 – 9809 (0nline) 2348–9359 (Print) by false starts and dead ends. His first significant step forward was a man the "tool maker". The second and more significant step marked his emergence as man the "image maker". The dark galleries of pre-historic caves show our ancestors preoccupation with the concrete image. In his painting & sculpture, early man was trying not to copy nature but originated in his mind and therefore depicted things not just as they were, but as he desired them to be. Art serves much purpose, but fundamentally it deals not with the actual but with the ideal. For centuries, man had shaped stone and softer materials like wood, bone and horn to serve his practical ends. When he become sure that the image in his mind could be given concrete form, he already possessed the technology to do so.1 Sculpture and music have played a prominent part in cultural development. Sculpture illustration may be treated as visual document of the different periods to which, they belong. The figures of dancers discovered in Mohan- Jodaro are full of swing and movement. This miniature creation of art reveals to us that dancing was not unknown say 3000 years back. Even as early as the stone age, a rock drawing portrays a masked dancer dressed in wild beast skin, playing a flute, a crude specimen with a rough and uneven surface. A survey of Indian sculpture found mainly in our temple in large stock and variety will bring our notice to many factors relating to music. Music has been a hand made to religion through the ages and therefore any place of worship as the temple, the church, the Vihara can be objects of our study. From the representation of the dynamic art of music and dancing on stone, it is possible for us to acquire knowledge of the type of music and dance practiced at different period, and in the study of the history and evolution of music in general and musical instruments in particular. They give us an idea of the construction and shape of the instrument, the manner in which they are held and played, the type of concert and number of people taking part and instruments used by them. The fact that our artist and philosopher of long ago could give much highly aesthetically and beautiful plastic form to the imagination of a dancing 'Nataraja'. Expressing the highest reaches of human thought and feeling, proves that dancing as art had fully developed in ancient India and the spiritual significance of dancing had been well realized. According to hindu tradition, Indra and the other gods be sought Brahma and the creator for a pestune to be heard and seems by all. Brahma these upon distilled the essence of the four Vedas, taking words from the 'Rig' music from the 'sama', the art of gesticulation from the 'Yajura' and aesthetic elements Rasa from the 'Atharva veda' and compounded them in masterly was into one. This goes by the popular term the Natya or Natya Sastra"2. There are several references to ritualistic dances in the Vedas and puranas. At the end of 'Aswamedha Yagya' women are mentioned as dancing round the sacred fire, with water pots on their heads beating the ground with their feet and singing. International Research Journal of Management Sociology & Humanity ( IRJMSH ) Page 97 www.irjmsh.com IRJMSH Vol 10 Issue 6 [Year 2019] ISSN 2277 – 9809 (0nline) 2348–9359 (Print) The tradition of miniature painting in India is one which spans many centuries, beginning in the 11th centuries and coming right upto the 19th cent and cover large parts of North India from Gujarat and deserts of Rajasthan, upto the snowing mountains of Jammu and Himachal Pradesh. The 'Rajput paintings' or its variety 'Rajasthani miniature' is a part mention term. Rajput painter who had worked for a time at the mugal court and learnt some of the science of miniature painting, must have returned to their homes and these produced such work as illustration to : Rasikpriya. Indian painting under the began with different ideologies and an entirely new outlook and technique. In the technique of mugal painting, paper was made generally of cotton, Jute or bamboo Mugal painting of the ragas of that time were influenced by Rajasthani paintings. Regarding the Rajput portrait of the Indigenous school Prof. O.C. Ganguly has said that "After the development of mugal school of portrait in the early 16th cent. The two schools, the earlier Indigencus Indian and the later Mugal, got entangled and influenced each other. It is now, therefore, difficult from the products of the fusion of the two to recover the outlines of the earlier. Hindu tradition and the few surviving examples seem to prove that the pure Rajasthani idiom has been practiced side by side the mixed mugal style.3 The representation of love scenes erotic sentiments of heroes and heroines, ballads and romantic poems, the visualization of the dramatic atmosphere suggested by the ragas suggested and raginis are other subjects of these paintings. For example a charming woman standing in an open landscape under the brilliant noon day sun generally represents 'Todi' ragini. In her hands, she holds the veena and the deer in the neighbouring postures stand entranced as the plays. Similarly 'Megh' raga is represented by a group of musician playing outside during the rainy season. The clouds hovering overhead and there is Joyous expectancy of rain everywhere. It is a raga suggesting hope and new life 'Bilawal' typifies the heroine who gets conscious of the pangs of love by a vision of her own beauty in the mirror. These and similar pictures of visualised music pulsate with life as only a great piece of art could. The inventors talents of the greeeks never suggested a more charming allergory then the lovely families of the six ragas named in the order of seasons - Bhairava, Malva, Shrirag, hindola, vasant, Dipaka and Megha. Each of whom is wedded to five raginins or nymphs of harmony presenting wonderfully diversified images for the play of artists genius. In the ragmala series of Rasika Priya dated 1634 A.D. for example it represent the 'Megh Raja'. This miniature shows the blue complexioned raga dancing with a lady to the of music played by three female musicians. The scene is laid against blue background. The sky is overcast with dark clouds with a streak of lightening and rain indicated by white dotted lines.

  • Navarathri Mandapam CHAPTER 4 Musical Aspect of Maharaja’S Compositions
    Navarathri Mandapam CHAPTER 4 Musical Aspect of Maharaja’s Compositions 4.1. Introduction “Music begins where the possibilities of language end.” - Jean Sibelius Music is just not confined only to notes and its rendition, it is a unit of melody, its combinations and beautiful body movements. Therefore it is called Samageetam (g“rV_²) and Sharangdeva has given an apt definition to the term - JrV§ dmÚ§ VWm Z¥Ë`§, Ì`§ g“rV_wÀ`Vo& Maharaja’s compositions are models of all the three faculties of music. They are sung, played on various instruments and some compositions are exclusively composed for dance performances. To understand the nuance and technical aspects of music, it is very necessary to look back at the history of both the streams of Indian Music which are prevalent. As discussed in the earlier chapters, North Indian Music, popularly known as the Hindusthani Music had a lot of transitions since the Vedic era to the Mughal or the pre- indehendence era. After the decline of the Mughal Empire, the patronage of music continued in smaller princely kingdoms like Gwalior, Jaipur, Patiala giving rise to diversity of styles that is today known as Gharanas. Meanwhile the Bhakti and Sufi traditions -------------------------------- ( 100 ) ---------------------------------- continued to develop and interact with the different schools of music. Gharana system had a peculiar tradition of one-to-one teaching which was imparted through the Guru-Shishya tradition. To a large extent, it was limited to the palace and dance halls. It was shunned by the intellectuals, avoided by the educated middle class, and in general looked down upon as a frivolous practise.

    Reflections on Ragamala Painting Fall 2000 Honors Thesis Susan Fuchser Dianne TayloT^nu^ \,<u^<n Gloria Cox hjL^Ua^ CJOY- Fuchser 2 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Part I: Religious Context 4 Hinduism 4 Islam 11 Jainism and Buddhism 12 Part II: Historical Context 13 Part II: Ragamala Painting 19 Music: the raga 19 Poetry: the dhyana 24 Painting: the ragamala 25 Part IV: Asavari Ragini 41 Conclusion 45 Works Cited 46 Fuchser 3 Introduction At various times in history, artists have intertwined the art of painting with other forms of art. For example, the Chinese paintings of the Song Dynasty combined painting with the art of poetry, and some Western Baroque paintings worked with the music played in churches to aid in worship (Yee 122; Gardner 651). But the first works of art to ever merge the three art forms of music, poetry, and painting, was the Ragamala paintings of India. Ragamala painting is quite a unique form of art in that it successfully combines these three art forms. This paper will describe many facets of Ragamala painting, and describe a specific example of Ragamala painting, in what one could call an onion of art. This is because, just as an onion has layer upon layer, art too has many different layers. The layers around a work of art include the artwork itself, its uses, any symbolism in the artwork, the role of the artist, and the background or any traditions that the artwork follows. It also includes cultural and religious contexts as well as social, political, economical, and historical contexts.

  • Unique Poetry on Five Ragamala Paintings in the National Gallery of Victoria: Rhyme, Alliteration and Rhythm in Couplets of Great Intensity and Charm
    Unique Poetry on Five Ragamala Paintings in the National Gallery of Victoria: Rhyme, Alliteration and Rhythm in Couplets of Great Intensity and Charm Reis W. Flora The ragamala tradition of painting, as the Sanskrit word rāgamālā (a garland of ragas) implies, has a close association with the ragas or melodic modes of India, particularly of northern India. The ragamala tradition of painting is not found in southern India. On ragamala paintings the name of a melodic mode identifies the iconographic image created in a particular miniature painting. In this article, the phrase ‘ragamala tradition’ refers to the widely known examples of some three thousand miniature paintings created in many different styles and schools dating from around the year 1475 to the end of the nineteenth century.1 The word ‘ragamala’ is also used as an adjective to designate a text associated with a painting or a series of paintings in the ragamala tradition. In music performance, a similar term, ‘ragamalika,’ is used generically to refer to the rendition of a few or several different melodic modes in succession, as is occasionally found in performances of South Indian or Karnatic music. This article, however, does not consider music performance as commonly conceived. The discussion focuses instead on five couplets inscribed on five miniature paintings in the ragamala tradition. The rhythmic patterns embedded in the organisation and flow of words in these couplets give clear evidence of an excellent musical capability, easily heard in recitation. The poems not only illustrate the creative genius of a poet gifted with an unusual talent for combining words, but also reveal the work of a poet simultaneously acutely sensitive to musical aesthetics.

  • Essence of Rajasthani Miniature: Ragamala Painting
    ISSN 2319-5339 IISUniv.J.A. Vol.3(1), 115-124 (2014) Essence of Rajasthani Miniature: Ragamala Painting Bhoomika Dwivedi and Madan Singh Rathore There is a connection between the various elements of nature and the human conscience which consequently leads to the creation of all phenomenal Arts. It is the similar approach and nature that creates accordance between the different streams of Arts. Through the common motif of expression of emotions and sentiments, all distinctive forms of arts result in ecstasy and blissfulness. Mysterious music and sounds are always present in nature, like the chirping of birds and the falling cascade. Similarly, we may consider rainbow as the most sublime form of painting noticed in the vicinity of nature. Music and painting have been the medium of worship and pleasure since the ancient times as both of them spring out of the deepest corner of the heart and soul. It is not just music which contains rhythm, it is also, metaphorically, an inherent aspect of painting. If music is a balanced mixture of tone and rhythm, painting contains a proportional harmony of color and lining to achieve an entirety. According to Vishnudharmottara Purana: fcuk rq u‘R; 'kkL=s fp=lw=e~ lqnqfoZne~ A To learn painting, one needs to have an understanding of music, and this was noticed in the 11th Century which emphasized on music education in order to learn painting. Painting also follows the belief of the 3 Lokas (Worlds) just like the art of dancing, which is reiterated in the Vishnudharmottara Purana again as: ;Fkk u‘Rrs rFkk fp=S =SYkksD;kuqd‘fr% Le‘rk%AA In India, it has been a tradition of Puranas to concretize an abstract form.
