Description
Different castes, costumes and professions from the length and breadth of India become subjects of contemplation. Here a Vaishnavite man is depicted in a local textile. The marking on his head (tilaka) and arms point to his affiliations to Lord Vishnu. He is wearing beaded strings along with the prominent religious marks, pointing to his higher status in society. The drapes of the attire and the bowl he holds in his hand shows he is out for a religious purpose. Lifelike details based on the perspective study were integrated into scenes of this kind with an Indian subject.
