Reviews Of Chhattra Mahal
Bundi, Rajasthan, India
The Chhattra Mahal is a magnificent structure nestled within the sprawling Garh Palace complex of Bundi, a city renowned for its blue-painted houses and step-wells. Built around 1660 AD by Maharao Raja Chatrasal, the Mahal stands as a vibrant testament to the zenith of Rajput architecture and the lo cal Bundi School of Painting. The name "Chhattra" derives from the chhatris or umbrella-shaped pavilions that crown its rooftop, providing shade and unique architectural charm. The palace was strategically constructed to showcase the independence and artistry of the Hada Rajput rulers during a period of Mughal dominance. Unlike many contemporary palaces that adopted the Mughal red sandstone, the Chhattra Mahal and the entire Garh Palace complex primarily utilize the locally quarried green-tinged stone, which is famously hard and, thus, was decorated heavily with murals and paintings rather than fine carvings. The Mahal, which served as a residence and a place for royal entertainment, is particularly famous for its well-preserved frescoes and murals. The interior walls and ceilings are adorned with stunning, elaborate paintings in rich colours like red, gold, and indigo, depicting scenes from Indian mythology, royal processions, court life, and particularly the stories of Radha and Krishna. It is one of the most visually stunning sections of the otherwise decaying Garh Palace, offering a powerful glimpse into the opulent and artistic life of the Bundi royalty. Visitors must navigate a steep, paved path and climb through the colossal Hathi Pol (Elephant Gate) to reach this and other key sections of the palace like the Diwan-e-Aam (Hall of Public Audience) and the famous Chitrashala. The Mahal's strategic elevation also provides breathtaking panoramic views of the entire "blue city" of Bundi and the adjacent Nawal Sagar Lake. (Words: 395) ###
