Putting Music Into Image

The Hindu religion has been a fountain of inspiration for the visual arts since time immemorial. From the plethora of our complex deities to the treasure trove of stories in our literature, there is much to Hinduism that lends itself to good painting. However, there is more. Classical Hindu texts of the non-fiction variety expound a world of abstract concepts such as music and dance and the like; and this subsection of our exclusive Hindu paintings section features a collection of paintings on music as laid down in the shastras. A majority of these are ragamala paintings, a famous visual arts tradition that stemmed in medieval India. These seductive illustrations feature the ragas of classical music, and their raginis, ragaputras, and ragaputris, having personified the raga in question to a nayak (hero) or a nayika (heroine) as part of a visual episode that gives away the strictly laid specifications of the raga in question (such as the time of day that the raga is meant to be sung). Some of these paintings are relatively simple depictions of everyday sadhakas and sadhikas with their musical instruments. The Hindu paintings in this section are each a visual-poetic amalgamation of art and music, and would elevate the aesthetic standards of your space with their vibrant hues and gorgeous landscapes.

Dance: The Living Spirit of Indian Arts
"In Indian tradition dance was...a divine dimension of the man\'s act... The dancer...sublimated his own self...and united with the supreme Self... The ancient Indian mind...had unique reverence for dance... it conceived its gods as dancers discovering in dance the accomplishment of their assigned functions, ranging from creation to annihilation, and the divine grace - an essential attribute of gods... The tradition...acclaims Shiva as both, the first exponent of dance and the first linguist... Vishnu...is revered as the \'Adi-nratya-guru\' along with Shiva and Kali... Dance has been classified under four categories...secular; ritual; abstract; and, interpretive... India\'s art imagery and sacred architecture found...in dance its most natural and intimate idiom..."
The Rhythm of Music - A Magical and Mystical Harmony
"Mysticism is the inherent desire to seek oneness with the ultimate reality... the sense organs provide the only window to perceive this supreme state of being... This state is non-material, just like music is... the first musical instrument was the human body itself, and the first created music, the human voice... In mysticism, everything is vibration... all material forms made up of vibrations... The drum, through its rhythms, replicates these vibrations... the beating together of cymbals is said to signify the symbolic union of opposites... an activity which is necessary to maintain the harmony of the dynamic universe... the flute... gives forth a clear, pure and simple sound... both intensely melancholy and entrancingly sprightly... The sacredness and reverence for the flute can be gauged form the fact that it is often deified as an extension of Krishna\'s own beauty"
