The name Kakubha implies a summit, splendour or beauty, but also the garlands of champaka flowers that hang from this Ragini’s hands. She is shown as a heroine deserted by her lover, who wanders dejectedly in an open landscape beneath monsoon clouds. For other folios from the same series, and further discussion, please see the two preceding lots.
