This is constructed in 1623 during the reign of Raja Jai Singh. King used this place to meet his special guests.
The walls and ceilings of the hall are beautifully covered with mirrors, in such a way that even if a small ray of light enters the Mahal this light would reflect in the mirrors and the entire hall would have a natural light up. The glass used here ids imported from Begium.
There are various design patterns with mirrors on the walls and ceiling. Above is one of the intricate designs in the ceiling.
Centuries old and the details are still visible - awesome. Vividly appearing intricate craftsmanship - fascinating.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Rajesh -- I'd love to see this. Just the name alone "Palace of Glass" is enough to let me know it would be amazing. Again, it is such a joyful thing to know about these wonderfully preserved historical and sacred places.

Your thumbnail made me think it was a quilt. In India? Now I realize it is a gorgeous ceiling. But it could inspire a new quilt pattern!
