The ongoing ‘Peacock in the Desert: The Royal Arts of Jodhpur, India’ exhibition in America chronicles treasures spanning nearly four centuries from the Marwar-Jodhpur kingdom of Rajasthan. MARWAR brings you a photo essay that offers glimpses of the objects of Indian courtly life on display, most of which have never left India, until now.
In Rajasthan, in north-west India, it is the forts that attract the visitors most, who come from all around the world. Rising spectacularly above the rocky terrain, these imposing structures were safe havens for its inhabitants, their spiked doors and battle-scarred ramparts bearing witness to having defied many enemy attacks. It was in these forts that for centuries power and a sense of secluded elevation commingled with natural splendour to take them to rare heights of luxury. The Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur is a spectacular example, whose corridors and palatial rooms exude resplendence and grandeur with marble and stone carvings, fountains, medieval paintings, murals and stained glass mosaic adorning them.
