Ragamala paintings, representing the musical modes known as ragas, number in the thousands, but the interpretation of them has proved a challenge. The first part of the lecture will survey past ways of writing about ragamala paintings, point to questions that remain unanswered, and suggest new avenues for interpretation. The second part of the lecture will look more broadly at pictorial traditions of representing music from around the world.
