About the collection

Cornell's Rāgamālā collection consists of some 4000 photographs Klaus Ebeling took between 1967 and 1972 as he visited museums and private collections all over the world working on Ragamala painting. Fifty years later the slides were gifted to Cornell, thanks to musicologist Joep Bor. The Ebeling collection is among the world's great assemblages of images in this genre. There have been numerous subsequent studies of regional traditions of rāgamālā painting -- Ebeling's collection includes them all.
