The overall theme addressed by Shin’s conference panel was “Major Patrons in Minor Courts: Rethinking Early Modern Cultural Production.” Her paper will be published in an edited volume on Banaras.Amethi 222

Shin and other panelists examined the role of patrons and artists “at the margins” in the fashioning of early modern culture, i.e., outside the main cultural centers of North India, including small courts, religious centers, and elite households.
