Source: Zebrowski, Mark (1983). Deccani painting. p. 104. In the Dublin picture (82 and col. pl. x11), she appears asa religious mendicant, or yogini, her body smeared with ash, endowed with special powers resulting from severe austerities. Her magical, rather than her saintly qualities are stressed. She is a sorceress, wearing extravagant jewels, secretly communicating with a bird. Her face is strange and exotic, like a ferangi, or European. Fantastic plants undulate beside her. Her gleaming palace beckons to us, but its stony whiteness is like a tomb. Ibrahim Adil Shah, himself immersed in unorthodox rites, must have been intrigued by the picture's dark ambiguities. The Yogini may symbolize the seductive heresies which rivalled Islam for the young king's mind.

ALT2: ... that the Yogini with a Mynah Bird has been described as a "Medusa-like" sorceress representing "seductive heresies"?

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced and neutral. it is plagiariams free - 1% on Earwig. Hooks are cited and interesting, although I prefer ALT3. QPQ is done. The article lead could do with expansion (but that doesn't stop it going through) Lajmmoore (talk) 14:17, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
