Page From a Kedara Kalpa Series: Five Celestial Sages in Barren, Icy Heights
1800 - 1820.

Indian, Punjab Hills, Guler 19th century

This is intriguing to me. What are they doing there? Is it about Kailash and Shiva? ~Will see if I can learn more.

The Practice of Yoga, folio 5, from Sidh Siddhant Padhati, 1824 CE, attributed to the 'Muslim Artist' aka Bulaki. Mehrangarh Museum Trust, Jodhpur, Rajasthan. "A Nath Yogi Practicing Yoga (Pranayama)". Maharaja Man Singh of Jodhpur was an ardent devotee of the Nath sect. During his reign, exquisite paintings of Naths were produced. Master Artists worked hard for the Maharaja, who was mad in devotion to his Guru Jalladharnathji.  Freer & Sackler Galleries exhibited these paintings (in collaboration with Dr. Karni Singh Jasol, Director, Mehrangarh Museum) under the exhibition "Garden & Cosmos: The Royal Paintings of Jodhpur".

May have posted this before, but encountered it again this morning. Such an awesome painting. Be sure to click on the link as well for a larger image.


Durer’s image ‘Melencolia I” was distributed widely, and travelled as far away as India, where the Mughal miniaturist Farrukh Beg referenced the work in his 1615 miniature The Old Sufi.

India, Karnataka, Bijapur, ca. 1603–4
Yogini with Mynah: Surrounded by surreally surging hillocks and hugely blooming flowers, a yogini stands quite still, almost spellbound, though her gold sashes furl and the delicate tendrils of hair around her tilted head quiver. Impossibly elongated, she has the ash-covered skin and the dreadlock (jata) topknot of female ascetics associated with the deity Shiva. The visionary painting was created at the Islamic court of Bijapur, where yoginis were understood as agents of supernatural power.
