Description | Here a female mendicant makes a Vedic fire offering to the god Brahma who is represented with four overlapping faces and holds a text, rosary (mala), and flower. An earlier ragamala text of 1550 provides the following description of Brahma: “He [Brahma] teaches the Vedas... and causes other to perform the fire-oblation. A bright garment covers the beauty of [her] body; [her] fair colour gleams.” |
