Possible definitions for nazarate
navaratri
In Hinduism, a nine-day festival followed on the 10th day by the Durga-puja. It includes feasting, visiting, public concerts, plays, and fairs. Durga's followers are especially numerous in Bengal and Assam; in other parts of India, the 10th day is associated with the victory of Rama over Ravana, acted out in a pageant climaxed by the burning of effigies of demons.
Nazarenes
Members of the Brotherhood of St. Luke, an association formed in 1809 by young German, Swiss, and Austrian painters in reaction against Neoclassicism. It was the first effective antiacademic movement in European painting. They acquired the nickname Nazarenes when four of them visited Rome, because of their biblical style of hair and dress. The Nazarenes believed that all art should serve a moral or religious purpose. They admired medieval and early Renaissance painters and rejected most subsequent painting, believing it abandoned religious ideals in favor of artistic virtuosity. Members lived and worked together in a semimonastic existence, trying to imitate the teaching situation of the medieval workshop. Its leading members were Friedrich Overbeck (1789-1869), Franz Pforr (1788-1812), and Peter von Cornelius (1783-1867).
