Ragamala paintings were part of most of the schools of Indian paintings, literally meaning the 'Garland of Ragas of the classical music'. This painting depicts the Raga Malkaushik, a great musician signified with blue skin tone, shown here playing flute in creation of magical tune and heavenly entities are showering flowers on him as a mark of his great skill, from the sky. The sky and land are painted in different tone in depiction of pictorial message.
