About A Princess Visiting Forest Shrine At Night Mir Kalan Khan Mughal Miniature Art Indian Painting
This exceptional painting depicts a princess making an offering at a forest shrine, possibly in a desire to enhance her fertility and become pregnant in accordance with the age-old South Asian devotional practice. The shrine is at a hermitage of Kanphata (ear-split) female ascetics devoted to the Hindu god Shiva, who can be identified by the large rhinoceros horn earrings worn by the central and left-hand ascetics. The presence of three additional Hindu ascetics seated at the base of the Islamic-style mausoleum or mosque can be explained by known historical and contemporary instances of this very type of appropriation of Islamic monuments by Kanphata ascetics and by the popular religious syncretism in the 16th-19th centuries.
