These have some rich colouring V.

I'm not able to tell them immediately. I do have a four-CD set of all the Ragas, with descriptions of how they are composed and their intent. We usually just listen - I haven't read the booklet, although Julie has a bit.

I haven't even begun on the audio portion of the work!

There's a certain look/mood to all the paintings, but some visual themes emerge:

~If there's a mirror, it's probably Vilaval.
~If someone is writing, it's probably Dhanasri.
~If there are candles or oil lamps, it's probably Deepika (also Dipika).
~If there are snakes and a snake-charmer, it's probably Asavari.
~If there are antelopes or deer, it's probably Todi.
~If there's a woman who looks forlorn and longing, it's probably Gunakali.

~Sehuti ---> tigers are involved.
~Kedar ---> an ascetic and disciple.
~Vasant ---> Springtime, sometimes many dancers. Sometimes Krishna.
~Kakubha ---> peacocks are involved.
~Bhairavi ---> a lingam and a shrine to Shiva.
~Khambavatti ---> Brahma.

That's what I've gleaned so far.
