Great piece of information !! Thanks !!
I did a post on the raginis, the focus was on the fact that the paintings don't always have fair skinned women (which is the first impression with many miniature paintings). The ragmala paintings are a bit fanciful but really quite poetic and beautiful too. http://bit.ly/XQoZYz
Raagmala appear at the end of Sri Guru Granth Sahib - Guru of Sikhs and is sung in Gurudawaraas all over the world http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/6449/raagmalalp5.jpg
