A Ragini representative of a maiden aching for her beloved, Ragini Sorathi in Ragamala paintings is a moving vision of a woman's heart in love. Seated under a tree lush with leaves and flowers, the Ragini is exquisitely attired and placed on a bloomed lotus. In her lap is a peacock, which is symbolic of a lover who is not there.
With her hand raised, Ragini Sorathi points at a spot outside the canvas, at the peahen for whom her feathered companion pines. A stream flowing in the foreground adds dynamism to this painting, whose cool water has no impact on the heart of Ragini Sorathi, who awaits the arrival of Raga Megha Mallhara who is envisioned as her husband.
