Three Musicians Perform Before a King: Shri Raga, from a Ragamala
Colorful illustration of a scene with a seated king and three musicians. The king, on the right, wears gold and white and sits cross-legged on a low platform, holding a small object to his mouth. He has a large crown on his head and a canopy above him. Three musicians sit to the left, playing instruments. From left to right, one musician plays a drum, one plays a long-necked stringed instrument, and one plays flute. The musicians wear turbans and richly patterned clothing. Behind the musicians and the king are green archways set into a red wall. Above, there are two white towers with crowns on top and yellow pennants on either side of a pink roof with a black background. The image has a thick red border and yellow bands at the top and bottom.
