About Fakir's Rock on the River Ganges, Bihar William Daniell Vintage Orientalist Paintings of India c1800
Thomas Daniell (1749 – 19 March 1840) was an English landscape painter who painted Orientalist themes."The Fakeer's rock. Consists of several masses of greyrock granite, and was formerly a point of land projecting from the shore, but by the violence of the current is now perfectly insular. This assemblage of rocks has long been considered as one of the most sacred places on the River Ganges, and much resorted to by the religious Hindus, not only for its reported sanctity, but on account of a much celebrated figure of Narayan [Brahma], over which is erected a building, probably, either to honour or preserve the idol." Thomas Daniell quoted in Archer op. cit.
