Pilgrimage to Kedarnath

Artist/maker unknown

Image 1 of 21 / 2

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.
