Belonging to the family of Raga Megha, Ragini Kumbha (Nayika with a Kumbha or pot of water) symbolizes the pining heart, looking for the love of one's beloved. The charming young maiden in this painting is in the depths of a forest, under a tree wrapped by a blooming vine. She bends gently to pull her pitcher out of the wall, her strife symbolic of her efforts to find the respite of love.
A somber background against which the Ragini stands is contrasted with the greenery in the foreground, a visual telling of the condition of Ragini Kumbha, who is unable to find the showers of love, capable of restoring the bloom of her youthful heart.
