Maharaja
Banaras Vidya Mandir Museum, Varanasi
Across the Ganga lies the Ramnagar fort, ancestral home of the Maharajas
of Banaras. The museum consequently displays weapons, manuscripts, palanquins
and the decorative arts. On view is an astronomical clock, textiles and paintings.
Two outstanding objects are a textile woven with ivory and a pictorial depiction
of Dussehra celebrations on the river which involves a colourful procession
of boats.
