Nineteen prints of Hindu subjects

India

Not on view

Lithograph prints of this type proved immensely popular in India in the early twentieth century as devotional imagery to be displayed in the home. Such religious icons were typically housed in the household shrine or framed above a doorway or threshold. These subjects were tailored to have strong appeal to women devotees, who took responsibility for the observances in the household shrine, be it in the shrine room of a wealthy householder, or in the corner of a simple abode.
