Abstract

This paper explores the rich, intertwined cultural heritage of medieval and early modern India through the lenses of Ragamala paintings, the evolution of Hindustani and Carnatic music traditions, and Mughal-era carpet weaving. These three art forms, developed under royal patronage and religious movements, exemplify a confluence of aesthetic expression, spiritual devotion, and political power. The study traces historical trajectories, examines artistic styles, and highlights the socio-political contexts that shaped their growth and subsequent decline. Through detailed analysis of visual motifs, musical innovations, and textile designs, this work illuminates their interdependence and calls for renewed scholarly and institutional attention toward their preservation.
