Praying with Peacocks & Raginis in Indian Art

A peacock is one of the national symbols of India; it symbolizes themes such as royalty, eternal life (in Christianity), beauty, love, purity, and grace. https://www.traditioninaction.org/religious/f023_Peacock.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_symbolism#Peacock http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/the-peacock-a-symbol-of-royalty-65241

“Peacock in Indian Art, Thought and Literature” book https://www.amazon.com/Peacock-Indian-Art-Thought-Literature/dp/8170174295/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1534354865&sr=1-1&keywords=9788170174295

One of my artistic interests are the “miniature paintings” of India. “Miniature painting developed during the 10th century in western parts of India, now the modern state of Rajasthan.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_painting#Western_Indian_Miniature_Painting Here are some current examples of miniature paintings from Rajasthan that combine peacocks with ragini - a visualized “wife” of a raga/raag (related to a musical mode). “Rāginī (Devanagari: रागिनी) is a term for the ‘feminine’ counterpart of a ‘masculine’ rāga.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raga#R%C4%81ga-R%C4%81gini_system

Most are less than 10 X 10 inches, and some are available on eBay. Some of these contemporary miniature paintings are inexpensive, some are costly (primarily made for foreigners), but all are based on the art of the past centuries. I was delighted to see some quite old miniature paintings in a museum on my last trip to Hyderabad (India). A few of the paintings below are also quite old and are in museums.

I use such contemporary paintings in my prayers for India and Christian worship in an Indian context. These images are included here in no particular order. Many of the ragini hold musical instruments or flowers, both symbols in India of worship, adoration and praise. Combined with the Christ-related symbolism of the peacock, these contemporary ‘miniature paintings’ build on a tradition going back a thousand years or so in India and lead to prayer for India’s future.
