Description
A group of us visited a small town called Bundi in Rajasthan, to paint 'en plein air'. It is a town that has the remnants of the past - its forts and palaces and step wells - they all give glimpses of the grandeur of the past even to a casual visitor. The past haunts the place at every street corner and every turn one takes, the architecture is breathtaking at times and some of it is in ruins, sadly.
The town itself lives in its languid pace, the weather in early February is cold and chilly during early mornings and late evenings, while the days are warm and windy. Through the day, we all painted choosing different spots and found some interesting paintings by the end of day.
This painting is of Chaurasi Khambon ki chhatri or Eighty four pillared Cenotaph. "Chhatri" literally means an umbrella. It also means a dome shaped pavilion and is used as an architectural element in India. Chaurasi Khanmbon ki Chhatri was constructed by the Maharaja of Bundi as a memorial to his brother.
