The Evening Raga
The Evening Raga
A woman at the harmonium and a man at the tabla, lost in an evening raga — Soma Chakraborty paints the duet in the bright, joyful language of Indian folk art. Parrots in flight, a flowering tree, gentle cattle, and temple spires glow against a warm orange sky, all framed by a decorative border.
This 125-piece puzzle features whimsy-shaped pieces hidden within the design — look for the parrots, the diya, and the small folk motifs tucked among the musicians.
