This unprecedented volume celebrates the survival of the
wall-paintings at Bundi by presenting a stunning photographic
survey of these long-hidden treasures, most published for the first
time, and including both abundant details and many scenes that
cannot be seen by the naked eye. The royal fort at Bundi, an
isolated town in the Indian state of Rajasthan, is home to
elaborately decorated palaces that are among India’s most
beautiful buildings. That several of the palaces have been
completely closed to visitors until very recently has kept their
painted walls hidden from public view, but it has also helped their
preservation. The paintings depict daily life at the Bundi court
from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries, as
well as scenes from traditional literary and religious texts. The
illustrations together reveal the rich cultural interrelationships
that gave these paintings their unique power and importance.
