THE SUFI IN THE GARB OF A YOGI

ARTICULATIONS OF SANCTITY UNDER MUSLIM PATRONAGE IN EARLY MODERN INDIAN PAINTING

This talk will discuss 16th and early-17th century album and manuscript paintings made for Muslim patrons where the Nāth yogi appears as an emblem and surrogate for the Islamic spiritual path of taṣawwuf (Sufism), an archetype for the mystical traveler (sālik) and a figure of spiritual longing.
