Ragini Bangalo
This perticular painting represents Ragini Bangalo. The portrayal of the lonesome Rāgini as an ascetic engrossed in penance away far away from the human settlement with a leopard as her only company qualifies her as Rāgini Bangalo. She sits on a deer skin, contemplating Śiva (she appears like Śiva with her blue complexion, hair tied into a matted bun, performing hatha yoga with a yoga patta tied around her legs). Bangalo’s customary text refers to a lion/tiger/cheetah/leopard sitting near the Śiva shrine where the Rāgini is engaged in penance but it also validates the nature of territory, that of a deep forested area away from the human settlement in which the Nāyikā is dwelling.
