- Subject Matter
- The rulers of Bundi and Kotah commissioned ragamala paintings in great numbers from the seventeenth century onward. In Bundi-Kotah versions of the Dipak Raga, two lovers sit in an elaborate marble palace, decorated with inlaid stone and a domed roof. The figure of the prince, who gently caresses his lover’s chin, is highly individualized and may be a portrait of the patron.
