A man kneels in prayer outside a marble tomb. He wears a white robe and a gold turban. Around him, riders on horses and camels fill the scene. This page comes from the Akbarnama, a book about Emperor Akbar’s life. Akbar is shown visiting a holy man’s tomb in India in 1562. Below, servants hand out food and money to poor people. Look up Ikhlas to see more art from this book.
