About The Show :

The aim of this show would be to showcase a collection of designer soft furnishing items like bed linen , cushion covers, dining mats, etc. inspired  by the traditional art of the medieval period  and nineteenth century British period Conceptualized by Anjali Jain from Kala Drishti.   

Aesthetically designed, these colorful items are items are influenced by the miniature paintings of the Mughal and Rajput style. Some are also inspired by the exotic geometrical designs of  the jaalis and jharokhas of the Rajput and Muslim architecture.

The other half is inspired by the Bengal woodcut designs of the  nineteenth century. Paintings by the British and Indian artists  reflecting  the lifestyle of those bygone days are also included in the designs.

Thus our collection would be a medley of chirpy bird designs, the exotic romance of the Kishangarh and Rajput paintings, the majesty and exuberance of the Mughal  paintings and the geometric perfection and appeal of the Mughal architecture.

The pictures of the 19th century will take you to images of the Sahib’s and Memsahib’s dancing to the beats of Waltz and Foxtrot. The sensous nautch of the court girls enticing you by their (adaayan) and come hither looks.

A series of pictures of courtly ladies with hookas in their hands dressed in all their finery will beckon you to admire them, while Sahib and Memsahib with their chota haziri will take you to the British times.

A number of pictures depicting the various modes of travel like the horse cart, the majestic  elephant ride, the well decorated naav or boat and the ever romantic palkis taking the (Nazneens) of the younder years to their desired destinations.

The show could perhaps be further highlighted by a song and dance Ballet mainly Kathak based showing the Radha- Krishna romance, the court dances of the mughals easing out to the times of the nautch girls of the era and western ballroom dances of the Sahibs.

Conceptualized by Anjali Jain
