A supplicant at a Hindu temple

In this unidentified scene a worshipper respectfully approaches a Hindu temple, where a priest receives him and various yogis look on with interest. The temple architecture is largely fantastical, with its Islamic arabesque decoration and geometric tilework. But several sculptures of Hindu deities are shown, including goddesses at each side of the temple door. As in some other Hamzanama pages, the faces have been mutilated by a pious Muslim hand and later crudely repainted.
