The provincial painting of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya and Hazrat Amir Khusrau is in the collection of National Museum, New Delhi, is from Hyderabad, Deccan. It depicts Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, the revered Sufi saint of the thirteenth century, listening to music being played by his disciple, Hazrat Amir Khusrau, a renowned Indian poet and scholar. Even to this day, the dargah of Hazrat Nizamudin Auliya in New Delhi has qawwali by Khusrau in praise of his pir. Devotees from all over the world come here to witness this regular cultural practice. The painting is naive and basic without technical and artistic sophistication of a court painting. However, it is charming and narrative of a popular Indian theme.
