A Rathor Noble Visiting a Holy Man at a Vishnu Shrine, c. 1760. Northwestern India, Rajasthan, Marwar. Gum tempera and gold on paper; page: 33.4 x 29.3 cm (13 1/8 x 11 9/16 in.). A naked Jain monk sits before a Rajput noble, whose triple mark on the brow indicate that he is a follower of the Hindu god Shiva. Behind them is a temple dedicated to Vishnu. In a visual statement of ecumenism, all three religions appear to coexist peacefully in the kingdom. The noble has set down his sword and shield and enjoys a hookah while listening to the discourse of the monk.
