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 is the view of Jait Sagar lake that overlooks the Sukh Mahal palace. The palace was used by the princes of the olden days as a summer retreat. The peace and tranquility of the environment, must have been the reason, or so I think, why Rudyard Kipling, wrote a portion of "Kim", while staying here for a while during the nineteenth century.
