Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bhakti movement emphasized devotion and love towards a personal god, and in this painting, Rajaraja I and his teacher are depicted as united in their devotion to Shiva. This reflects the blending of religious and worldly models, as Rajaraja I was both a king and a devotee of Shiva. The painting does not explicitly address the king's political power or subordination to religious leaders, nor does it reflect the influence of Islam.
