Garland of Ragini by 1838 V&A Decorative Paper Collection II
Garland of Rāgini is a mesmerising wall mural inspired by an exquisite early 18th-century Indian painting. Depicting elegant peacocks, stylised palm trees, and lotus blossoms along a serene riverbank, the scene evokes a timeless sense of romance and tranquility. Dramatically transformed from a small, hand-painted original into a bold, large-scale mural, the design now repeats seamlessly across the wall—honouring the spirit and splendour of the historic artwork.
In the Night colourway, moody tones of black and burnt orange conjure a dreamlike landscape under a starlit sky.
Available in two evocative colourways: Day and Night.

Each roll contains four panels (A, B, C & D) to complete the full design. To extend across larger walls, simply repeat the sequence (A B C D) with additional rolls. The mural can be trimmed from the top, bottom, or both to suit your wall height and desired composition.
Archive inspiration: Illustration to a Ragamala series, ink and opaque watercolour on paper, Deccan, southern India, circa 1700.
This mural is based on a painting from a Ragamala series—visual interpretations of classical Indian musical modes. Specifically, it illustrates Kakubha Rāgini, a melody associated with longing and beauty, as celebrated in the royal courts of 18th-century India. Ragamala paintings are united by the theme of love, expressed through emotion, music, and seasonal settings. Garland of Rāgini brings this legacy to life with a contemporary lens—capturing the symbolic richness, poetic depth, and visual splendour of the original masterpiece.
