Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. Maximum City was, on and off, home to me for more than 15 years. In those years, while I have passed it many times, never have I as much as ventured past its gates. Until, about a year and a half ago. On one of those lazy Sundays, with nothing better to do, my good old friend, philosopher, and expert in all things nefarious and dark, decided to give me a crash course on the history of the city. And what better place to start than a whirlwind tour of South Mumbai. Among our first stops was Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. Home to over 70,000 exhibits that cover ancient Indian history and foreign lands, including artifacts and relics from the Indus Civilization, and from the time of the Guptas, Mauryas, Chalukyas, and Rashtrakuta. Formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, it was founded and built by a committee including leading citizens of the city to honor and commemorate the visit of King George V. The foundation stone was laid in 1905 and completed in 1915. However, with the onset of the 1st World War, it was used as a Military Hospital and Children's Welfare Centre. It was only after the end of the war, in 1920, that it was handed back to the committee, and finally inaugurated on the 10th of January 1922. It is the work of George Wittet, who had already left his stamp on the city with the building of the General Post Office in 1911 and another famous landmark that would be completed in 1924 - the Gateway of India. _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ Incredible India 🇮🇳 #IncredibleIndia #MaharashtraUnlimited #MTDC #csmvs _________________________________________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #art #history #naturalhistory #museum #exhibits #csmvsmumbai #csmvsmuseum #museumofmumbai #museumofindia #experiencecsmvs #princeofwalesmuseum #mumbaifables #mumbaistreetwalkers #somumbai #everydaymumbai #storiesofmumbai #mumbaihistory #amchimumbai #historyofmumbai #mumbaiheritage #mumbaistories #talesofmumbai #heritageofmumbai #aboutmumbai #georgewittet (at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQVV72iMaYK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Krishna’s wedding to Rukmani, infront of a ceremonial fire, in a mandap adorned with parrots. It’s a very low-key marriage considering it’s Krishna, who’s getting married, it could also be because Krishna had kidnapped and eloped with her to prevent an unwanted marriage at her request and saved her from evil Shishupal(described in the Bhagavat Puran). It’s rather rare to see the actual wedding scene, there are some incredible depiction of Rukmani entering Dwarka with Krishna in National Museum in anew Delhi. This one is truest beautiful! 💞 Pahari, 19th Century. #IndiaAesthetic #Mandap #Wedding #WeddingRituals #Tales #BhagwatPuran #FolkTales #Mythology #HinduMythology #IndiaMiniaturePainting #PahariPainting #Gods #DivineMarriage #Krishna #Rukmani #Shishupal #ThwOriginalRunAwayBride #WeddingSeason #SalarJungMuseum #MuseumOfIndia #Iconic #Hyderabad #HyderabadDiaries #HyderabadJournal #Telangana #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at The Salar Jung Museum, Hyderabad)
