Description
Buddhist ascetics, in early historic India referred to places of religious retreat and contemplation as ''vihāras'' or ''ārāmas'', Sanskrit terms meaning ‘a place of recreation, pleasure-ground’ or a ‘place of pleasure, a garden’. Agarwal explains that the Buddhist garden harmonizes the tension between concepts of indulgence and asceticism.

Description
Agarwal describes the delightful art form known as Ragamala, meaning “garland of ragas” in Sanskrit. It is a set of miniature paintings depicting the ragas, a range of musical modes arranged in specific sequences. Each painting, therefore, represents a specific mood and is occasionally accompanied by a poetic inscription.
