EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century painting titled "Maharana Bhim Singh frolics with noblemen in the palace pool" artist Chokha beautifully captures a joyous moment of leisure and celebration. The Maharana, Bhim Singh, can be seen playfully enjoying himself alongside his courtiers and priests in the grand palace pool on Jagnivas Island in Udaipur. The scene is set during the Basant Panchmi festival, a vibrant spring celebration marked by hot weather. The women adorned in yellow turbans and clothing indicate their participation in this festive occasion. As the Maharana indulges in water games with his companions, one courtier engages him in a game of blind-man's bluff, adding an element of lightheartedness to the gathering. The exquisite architecture surrounding the courtyard showcases Mewar's rich cultural heritage. This painting not only depicts moments of relaxation for royalty but also offers us a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by Indian monarchs during that era. With its intricate details and vivid colors created using opaque watercolor and gold on paper, this artwork from Chokha truly transports viewers back to a time when leisurely activities were cherished amidst regal splendor. Preserved at San Diego Museum of Art as part of Edwin Binney 3rd Collection, it serves as a testament to India's artistic legacy and historical richness.
