This is an illustration to the musical phrase Asavari Ragini. Played in the early morning, the music is reminiscent of a snake charmer’s melody and evokes a sense of melancholy felt in the separation of a lover from their beloved. Pictorial metaphors for the melody usually depict a dark-skinned tribal woman wearing a skirt of leaves. Here she charms the snakes by playing a pungi or wind instrument.
