The set to which this page belongs seems to be a slightly later copy of the 1709 Amber ragamala series. The poetic description of Vairari Ragini in that set reads: Know [her] full of skills and extremely handsome. [She] puts on her ears a bud of the flower of the kalpariksha [wish tree]. [She] wears a kankana [wristlet] and [her] snakelike hair loose. [She is] white-complexioned and wears white garments. Her mind is attached to the color of the lover [fully devoted to him]. She wishes to dally with the hero.
