Miniature of a Mughal prince

Miniature of a Mughal prince

 
The painting of a Miniature of a Mughal prince displays a prince and his attendants visiting a muslim holy man in a garden surrounded by scantly-clad worshipers. Who have all given up the trappings of the physical world as displayed by their lack of clothes. It is assumed that this Miniature was painted during the reign of Mughal Emperor Jahangir, who was known to often visit holy men. The fact that this painting focus's the men more than the religion shows a growing separation from the ultra piousness of earlier cultures.
