A female devotee known as the Bhairavi Ragini worships a Shiva linga in a temple with two lady assistants. Dressed in the yellow robes of a holy woman, she watches her attendants offer milk and garlands to the god's aniconic form. Shiva's vehicle, a bull, sits below the temple and beside a silver lake. Ragamalas are musical modes personified by women, a widespread subject in illustrated manuscripts of regional Indian courts. Asia
