Ragas and Raginis: A Pictorial and Iconographic Study of Indian Musical Modes Based on Original Sources c2.3

c2.3

Owing to circumstances beyond the control of the Author the work had to be published—in an extremely limited edition of only thirty-six copies which were subscribed for, two years before the actual date of publication,—so that the work was out of print and was un-available from the date of its birth, not only to the general reader but to an everwiden-ing circle of friends of Indian Music and Specialists. This was a crime which has been crying for atonement ever since 1935—the original date of its publication. The Author is therefore grateful to Nalanda Publication for coming forward to rescue the work from practical oblivion.
