Raga Bhairavi, an early morning devotional raga has been a favourite of artists and musicians. It invokes the calming notes of the dawn and is perfectly suited to the soothing mood of devotion and spiritual pursuits. Set against an undulating green landscape with a gentle blue sky, two ladies pray to the Shivalinga under the canopy of a beautifully rendered ficus tree. The tree trunk and foliage seem to burst with life, suggesting the power that lies within nature. Two bathers in the river indicate the process of ablutions that lead up to the devotional reverie seen in the foreground.
