Khedwal Bhavan

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:03:55

West of Baori Gate is the still-inhabited Khedwal Bhavan, which features beautiful mirrorwork above the entrance to the inner courtyard, and fine blue tilework. A locomotive is depicted above the archway, and a frieze along the northern wall shows the Teej festival (spot the women on swings). On the western wall is a large locomotive crossing a bridge and underneath are portraits of various English people.

On the outside northern wall is the story of Dhola Maru , painted in two frames. In the first frame, soldiers chase the fleeing camel-borne lovers. Maru fires arrows at the assailants while Dhola urges the camel on.
