In Royal Umbrellas of Stone: Memory, Politics, and Public Identity
in Rajput Funerary Art, Melia Belli Bose provides the first
analysis of Rajput chatris ("umbrellas"; cenotaphs) built between
the sixteenth to early-twentieth centuries. New kings constructed
chatris for their late fathers as statements of legitimacy. During
periods of political upheaval patrons introduced new forms and
decorations to respond to current events and evoke a particular
past. Offering detailed analyses of individual cenotaphs and
engaging with art historical and epigraphic evidence, as well as
ethnography and ritual, this book locates the chatris within their
original social, political, and religious milieux. It also compares
the chatris to other Rajput arts to understand how arts of
different media targeted specific audiences.
