Vasanti Ragini expresses joy at the advent of spring. Plum blossom is the harbinger of spring in the Kangra Valley. Amidst the yellow and white blossoms of trees is shown a pair of girls plucking flowers on the banks of a river. There are rhythm and movement in this charming painting. "When Homer wanted his reader to feel that Helen's beauty was worth all the ten years' agony of Troy, he made him listen to the old men on the walls talking about her ways as she had moved amongst them in their youth" (Fox Strangways 'The Music of Hindostan'). This is the secret which the Kangra artist seems to have discovered intuitively when portraying the beauty of the melody of spring.
