Pilgrimage to Kedarnath

19th century

Artist/maker unknown, Indian

The delicate shading and pale pigments in this painting create a romantic, idyllic setting in a rocky mountain landscape, complete with frolicking deer and a meandering spring. Three pilgrims in brightly colored robes are followed by six men carrying a palanquin, a mode of transportation that alleviates the physical burden generally associated with this pilgrimage.
