    "description": "The musical \"mode\" (\"raga, ragini\") is a melody reduced to its basic elements. Modes were classified and given names, and sets of paintings with the same names were produced with the mode represented by a woman. Here the mode is \"chaiti,\" which is sung in the late afternoon.",
