Lal Bagh Palace, Indore - The Reflection of European Architecture

Situated on the left bank of the river Saraswati, Lal Bagh Palace is class and grandeur personified. Resided by one of the most powerful Maratha rulers of India, the Holkar dynasty, Lal Bagh Palace grew in the reigns of three princes. Tukojirao Holkar II (1844–1886) started the construction; Shivaji Rao (1886–1903) continued it; Tukojirao Holkar III (1903–1926) loved the palace so much that, even though he abdicated in 1926, he stayed on till his death in 1978. The property, then with the Princess Usha Trust, was shifted to the Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Educational Trust. In 1987, the palace was acquired by the government of Madhya Pradesh and now serves as a museum.

Designed by Bernard Triggs, Lal Bagh Palace is a blend of renaissance, paladin and baroque elements in architecture, and rococo and neo-classical in furniture. It almost seems as if every extravagant style, every new whim of European architects, was incorporated into the palace. The manicured gardens surrounding the palace are a blend of French, and English concepts of landscaping. The liberal mix of styles adds an indigenous element to an otherwise European structure.

There are 45 halls and rooms in this palace. Some are in the basement like the store room, kitchen, boiler room, etc. The rest of the rooms are on the ground and first floor. They are named based on their utility. Darbar Hall, Billiard Hall, Crown Hall, Council Hall, Dance Hall, Office and Library, etc.

Reading all the specifics, it might sound like this palace is a site of interest only for artists and architects. But actually, to the visitors who are not into technicalities, it all seems like a dazzling Bollywood set awaiting the director’s call for ‘Lights! Camera! Action!’.

Adding more beauty to the lavishness of the palace, there are Belgium stained glass windows, grand chandeliers, rich Persian carpets and Greek mythological reliefs. Also on display are sporting trophies (including stuffed tigers), contemporary Indian artworks and a spectacular coin collection. One of its most unique features is a wooden ballroom floor constructed on springs to give dancers the extra bounce.

On either side of the lounge are large doors of tinted glass. Holkar insignia of Sun and Nandi are inscribed on the glass panes. Oil portraits of stalwarts of the Holar dynasty like Malhar Rao Holkar, Ahilya Bai Holkar, and many more can be seen in the lounge area. The seating arrangement of the royal banquet hall is ‘T’ shaped based on the initials of Maharaja Tukoji Rao. An upward glance at the ceiling of the hall gives a glimpse of Greek gods and mythology.

The main kitchen of the palace is in the basement. So to ship the food and other materials up and down, there was an electrically operated food lift. The imposing gates of the palace are the replica of the gates of Buckingham Palace, London; only it is twice as large. The gates were moulded in cast iron and were shipped from England. They also carry the Holkar state emblem, “He who tries will succeed”. On either side of the main gate are two lions made of Ashtadhatu, an alloy made of eight metals.

So whenever you are planning a trip to Indore, do visit the iconic Lal Bagh Palace, and fall in love with its wonderful architecture. The palace is open from 10 am to 5 pm every day except Mondays and public holidays. The entry fee is just Rs. 20 for Indians and Rs. 400 for international tourists. Photography inside the palace is prohibited. Even to click pictures from the outside, you will have to pay a charge of Rs. 270 and Rs. 420 if you want to shoot a video.

*Interesting Trivia- Due to its real royal feel, Lal Bagh Palace has been among the favourite Bollywood locations. Many movies like Kalank, Singh Saab the Great and Mahal (Tamil Movie) have been shot in the palace.

Ahilyabai Holkar

By Medea Wasright

Sometime last winter, I found myself in a rut of formidable and senseless drama that got predictable thus having no luster or want in them, for I was just watching them as they had taken a part in my everyday life. It was upon a recommendation by an acquaintance whom I respect very dearly that I found myself watching Ahilyabai Holkar. Though to be quite honest, I was binging myself through it with my mother as a custom in our family to get hooked till there is no more excitement left, you are just used to at the moment till you find something better to do or watch.

The show foremost started by showing a jolly little girl who never failed to question practices which according to her didn’t stand right on their feet, who, due to this nature of not being able to accept social norms as they are but rather question their existence, caught the eye of the then Leader of the Holkan Dynasty of Malwa, Malhar Rao Holkar. He found this little creature interesting and her nature agreeable enough to betrove her to his own son in expectation to be his shining knight as he is a man who rather than thinking rationally and taking all the perspectives into hand and then making decisions rather makes decisions based on emotions. Emotional decisions aren’t wrong but only in regard to the working of one’s personal life, affecting only the one taking it rather than a greater group.

The show recurrently depicts Ahilya doing better than what she is requested to, being an uptight character who, yes does cry, but doesn’t leave what they strive for at crucial moment, fights for whatever she thinks is right, doesn’t budge when the country’s people are at stake risking even her personal life to it, which are thus the perfect ingredients for a perfectly controversial women of any time. Moving forward though, I would like to talk about other people rather than our controversial being who has had enough chances to shine.

If one has had the taste of this show, there are enough people to hate the guts of but in my opinion the ones I hate the most are her emotional mother-in-law and husband. How they, see her rather as threat to the throne rather than an aid, how they would harass her on many instances when she was inadvertently thinking for the greater good of the whole country and it’s people, thinking that her popularity would lead to people not thinking the Husband as the rightful heir and Ahilya as the righteous one who is it’s rightful owner. But hating them, to me, after many rounds of pondering seems rather preposterous. To support my statement I would like to present some arguments.

Firstly this it is oblivious to assume that she would see support from every angle of her family to do welfare when women at the time were expected to wait for their husbands who have to return from battlegrounds, look after household chores and think about only these couple of items. Heck! Even now I find myself in the company of such women who think a proper woman should only comprise of these characteristics though being thoroughly educated in regreous times. So should we really blame them for not having a nuanced way of thinking, not holding onto their beliefs that they were passed on from generations, so ingrained that rather than this being slapped on them to take time and a much slower pace to introduce such ideas. Such ideas are often associated with one’s recollection of their personalities (as in am i coke person or a pepsi person) and removing such ideas removes what the previously thought they were shaking their belief systems and perception of oneself. Now, I did lie, the mother-in-law isn’t an irrational woman. She is rather a brilliant minded individual who used this brilliance to maintain relations within the palace. I have enough words to describe it but would rather refrain from wasting your time. Being portrayed as just a human mother, she too is flawed, I would call it emotional vulnerability, for her child. It doesn’t – her actions, but I am here to make you understand her side.

Secondly, this is a drama, people! We need people to blame, people to hate, people to be vary of so as to root for the one we should be. So don’t go on their socials and herass them, they are just playing their part! This is not what has happened very accurately portrayed, it's just a representation with added dramatics to make it more mainstream thus relatable. A human is supposed to have opinions and is free to share them and should agree to disagree, making the characters more life-like rather than one dimensional characters who have their own thoughts and thought processes.

Thirdly, the husband, Khanderao Holkar, depicts what a life-like character would have been. I would like you to introduce him with a background. He is the only son in his family, and the era was of patriarchy hence the throne was bound to be his. Learning so any downright person will get some arrogance in them, so did he. He is a rather kind hearted individual who values people more than anything, being ready to do whatever it takes but this led to a depressing scandal and was henceforth sent away. Due to this he was never able to meet with the real world, not identify friends and foes and now finds situations where he can’t differentiate. Which to me depicts a person leaving their securities behind, being vulnerable to something that they were never before able to do as they lacked means to. Like leaving you parents and circle behind when you’re off to college, trying to make friends but meeting so many foes that your beliefs shake.

Now this is just a fan moment, but a character whom I fancied and who seemed to have an insightful view of the occurrences of incidents occurring through the show and something to latch onto and dispute upon is Rao’s second wife. She is bitter. Bitter from the fact that SHE couldn’t be the queen of the land added to this is the fact that her daughter's husband isn’t even considered as a prospect as the next heir. She is a very despicable person don’t get me wrong, but it only human nature to get excited about such characters to figure what caused it, are they curable, (can I be the cure) and most importantly is there still some good left in you so that I can prove upon my case that ‘you really ain’t that bad’. Her character even though is a supporting one, she makes the full use of it. Manipulation, mind games, dirty politics and schemes to get her way are all up her sleeve. Her nature to assume people as discard-able goods add. But the quality which makes me like her maybe even after all the trauma she has been causing is her policy of not taking a life and somehow also not taking this too far, using her intelligence to cause damages, degrading yes, but threatening a life, no. Her regretting what didn’t fit right to her morals, cutting ties with people who threatened it, etc etc.

The show has gone into a much slower pace now, but I would like to rather think of it as a display of how such battles aren’t won in a day but rather require urging and fighting from the moment you wake up to drive and make a change for what needs to be done.

Though this paper has a very condensed form from what I have absorbed from the series, leaving out important characters leading to it being binge worthy. But doing so only leads to it not being astonishing and exciting at all.

Well you spent what would now be 2-5 mins of your life reading this which you won’t get back so I shall wish you a better day after the crisis you may encounter upon leading forward. :)

Day 5, (12th Dec, 2019)

Day was pretty dull in terms of studies. Couldn't do much.

There was lot of fatigue while doing exercises in gym. I was having problem in doing basic low weight lower body exercises. Somehow completed.

In the evening we went to watch movie Panipat. Had lot of expectations. And the movie quite okay. Bit long, but the writers had done good research and tried their best to showcase the politics of those times. The decorations, costumes etc were just perfect. In 2nd half the battle scenes were good. I would have been more happy if they had shown the aftereffects of the battle, because thats where the cruelty, reality of the battle lay. I really liked Parvati Bai's character, all credits to Kirti Sanon. She suited perfectly for Parvati Bai's part and was beautiful in the movie. Many diversions and some fictional characters.

The scene where Vishas Rao is hit by bullet and Bhausaheb is comforting him is really emotional, more so because it is a true story. Bhausaheb would be really emotional and angry seeing his nephew and future Peshwa lay dead in his arms, and thats what was shown. It was a very good scene.

Suraj Mal Jat could have been presented better. Even though he did not participate in the battle, he did helped those who came injured after the battle in his kingdom and allowed safe passeage.

There was a scene in Delhi throne room where Malhar Rao and Parvati Bai place the pagdi of Shivaji Maharaj in front of Delhi's throne, most probably that very place from where a century ago Shivaji Maharaj had dared to raise voice when faced insult in the presence of Aurangzeb the then Mughal Emperor. What a nice way to remember his courage.

A better movie can still be made. Worth watching only for battle scenes, Parvati Bai and the 3 songs.

The movie would have been better had they shown, how after the war Abdali's army went on a rampage and massacred 1000s of innocents, how it was Shuja ud Daula who ordered his soldiers to find Bhausaheb & Vishwas Rao's bodies and cremated them, how Jankoji Scindia was captured and later killed, how Ibrahim Gardi was captured and offered to join Abdali's army but succumbed to his injuries, how peshwa had already moved from Pune with another army to help Bhausaheb but couldn't reach on time, how after the war Abdali negotiated peace with Peshwa and Satluj was fixed as boundary between Afghanistan & Hindustan. These after events could have enriched the movie.

I am happy that with this more people would be aware about 3rd battle of Panipat, why Maratha army went 1000s of Kms to fight an invader. Bhausaheb in one of his letters tells the reason why they have come to fight Abdali, because this land of Hindustan will be ruled by a Hindustani and not by any invader.

I hope atleast now the various Maratha sardars like Bundele, Mehendele, Vinchurkar, Pawar etc would be recognized in their respective native villages. I hope there will be more footfalls on Panipat War memorial in Panipat. I hope the Maratha Soldiers who died in Panipat that day would be blessed by the souls of 1000s of innocents who Abdali killed in Delhi, Mathura, Vrindavan during his last campaign, for they prevented another slaughter of millions and desecration of various temples. I hope the 1000s of Maratha soldiers whose names we would never know rest in peace. I hope we never forget them.

The Ladies of Indian History Challenge!

In yet another crazy challenge for myself, I’ve decided to push myself to actually try and write historical fiction! Here’s how it works: here are ten prompts based on 100_women’s tables (which can be found HERE, and are really awesome and recommended for use).

You: send me a woman from Indian history ( my history tag has many many suggestions if you don’t know where to start!) as well as one of these prompts.

I : am embarrassingly grateful and write something based on it for you! :D

Sanctuary,  Latika Nath for @mayavanavihariniharini

The world is quiet here, nestled between trees, the cry of parakeets and rustle of pythons the only accompaniment of a tiger's tread. She has learned to live here, with no weapon but wit and wisdom to defend her, to leave the pettiness of the everyday behind. It was not so difficult as some believe; but then again, not so easy, either. 

When she stands before the government, she argues the need for sanctuary to protect those animals that cannot speak for themselves; when she stands before herself alone, she argues the need for sanctuary to protect her own soul.

Mild, Ahilyabai Holkar for @mayavanavihariniharini

Her future father-in-law encounters her at a temple service, one he attends only disinterestedly. It is a long way to Malwa, after all, and the horses need rest--and praying for the Lord's favor is no poor choice for the traveler who passes along dangerous roads. He notices her for her extraordinary patience, standing wordless for hours on end, and begins to make inquiries.

Later, his second-in-command asks: "Do you seek her for your son because she is mild? Or obedient?"

Malhar Rao shakes his head. "Not that," he says, "but the promise that someday she might prove quite the opposite."

Fierce, Kadambini Ganguly, for @mayavanavihariniharini

One does not become the first female university graduate of the British Empire by timidity, but there is a fire that burns within Kadambini that surpasses even the world’s conventional stubbornness. She wants to strive more, to struggle and succeed against all odds: to see the old boundaries broken and useless behind her.  

She might stay behind, and become a lecturer like her colleague Chandramukhi; or succumb to society’s decrees and mind her household as a conventional woman. She might—she might—She might not.

Her application for medical college is completed, and accepted against all odds; the world awaits.

Time, Kashibai Bajirao Ballad, for @ekdesichokari

He who laughs last laughs best, Kashi believes, and in that is her downfall.

When her mother-in-law hisses with rage at Bajirao’s new wife, Kashi remains serene. Even when the world erupts with disapproving whispers at Mastani Bai’s religion, Kashi ignores them. One day, the whispers will be gone, and the anger, too. Until then, she can wait.

Except —except things go wrong. Bajirao falls ill, Mastani follows him even into death, and only Kashi is left. Time might have been on her side once, but has since betrayed her.

She laughs now, and the sound is bitter.

Comeback, Neerja Bhanot, for @allegoriesinmediasres​

Come back, says her mother; like any obedient daughter, she always wants to comply.

She came back every day after school, prepared to eat sweets and tease her siblings and kiss her parents hello.

She came back after the disastrous marriage in Dubai, heart heavy but not broken, head still resolutely held high.

She came back every flight before, suitcases laden with souvenirs, her smiling lips brimming with stories of her adventures.

She wants to come back now, too.

But there is a plane full of people whose loved ones also want them to return. She cannot forget her duty.

Veil, Jhalkaribai, for @chaanv​

When she agrees to become her Queen’s shadow, Jhalkari does not realize what it means.

Oh, Lakshmibai is gracious and gentle and good, the blazing hope of all Jhansi, and when she goes to war, they all cannot help but follow: the women’s regiments, the nurses, those who sacrifice even jewelry, and Jhalkari, who volunteers to serve as decoy.

She stays behind so her Queen can escape; she diverts the enemy’s gaze at her own peril.

All this and more she gives gladly, only—

Only she wishes she had known it comes at the cost of being veiled to history.

Pride, Kittur Chennamma for @mayavanavihariniharini

"A Queen," murmur her parents with satisfaction; "Mother to a fine son," sighs her husband. All of these are reasons why the world thinks she ought to be content with all she achieved, but Chennamma's heart always aches for more.

Perhaps it is punishment that she loses them all: husband to old age, son to sickness, kingdom to the British. Lord Yama is known to be just, and sickness knows no rank--but the British have no rights. She will not let them have her dominion. 

"We attack in the morning," she decrees--and feels pride in herself for the first time.

Pathos, Rukmini Devi Arundale for @mayavanavihariniharini

Married to a foreigner, and nearly twice her age at that; friends with a Russian dancer, and surrounded by Theosophists, Rukmini is already no stranger to scandal. Clearly that what draws her to an art meant to be the legacy of another, shunned by her friends. "Too old to be trained," her teachers remark sadly when they learn she is thirty, and Rukmini hears only one more expectation to defy. 

Or so she tells the world.

But when, in dance, she depicts Sita's loneliness and Draupadi's despair-- when she need not show herself always, always unafraid--then Rukmini feels most herself.

Human, Savitribai Phule for @mayavanavihariniharini

At times she tires. Her mouth dries when she conducts lesson after lesson at her school for girls. Her lungs keep a constant cough, the result of hours spent at the hospital. Her bones ache when she trudges to protest the conditions of those condemned only by caste; her clothes are constantly ruined by the dung and fruits flung by her angry neighbors.

The less said of her in-laws' insults, the better.

But then she studies the faces of those who come to her: only human, no matter what anyone else says, and knows she can never--will never--stop helping them.

Writer's Choice, Nur Jahan for @parlegee

When he teaches her to shoot, her husband is surprised enough at her talent to say, “A pity you are a woman”; and then, face splitting into a flirtatious smile, adds: “Or perhaps not.”

Mehrunissa laughed then, but privately she agrees. A man would not have flirt and flatter to be invited on Prince Salim’s tiger hunt; a man would not have to hide behind gauzy curtains for propriety’s sake.

Despite these disadvantages, four gunshots sound from the lady’s pavilion; six tigers fall dead.

Prince Salim nearly drops his musket with surprise; Sher Afgan swears under his breath.

Mehrunissa smiles.
