Description: | Photograph from the Curzon Collection, of the interior of the Nand Bhawan at Dig, Rajasthan, taken by the studio of Priyalall & Company in c.1900. The Nand Bhawan is one of four main pavilions in the beautiful 18th-century garden palace of the Jats of Bharatpur at Dig, built by Suraj Mal (ruled 1733-63). The pavilions are arranged around a formal garden with fountains in the Persian-Mughal tradition of the char bagh. The Nand Bhavan (c.1760) is a single-storeyed, rectangular building raised on a terrace at the northern edge of the garden. This view of the interior looks through cusped arches into the single central hall furnished with European furniture and a large punkah fan suspended from the ceiling. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Priyalall and Company | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
