Indore Mahal

The Mardana rooms are built around a spacious garden court ringed on three sides by spectacular arcade halls. These had never been completed and large rocks had to be hand-chiselled to create linear living spaces. The thick walls were pierced to make balconies with views of the countryside. Each room has two or three square rooms linked with arches and the facilities are discreetly tucked within.

This long room with three square spaces linked with two wide arches, honours the works of a team of three artists: two painters – Rajesh Sharma and Anis Niyazi and a photographer Pankaj Agrawal. Their abstraction and articulation for a search for truth in art goad them on.
