The Mughals, a dynasty that ruled over India for centuries, left behind a rich cultural legacy that continues to captivate us today. From the majestic Indian Bridge and Serpent Fountain at Sezincote to the intricate Priming flask made of ivory, each artifact tells a story of opulence and grandeur. As we delve into history, we come across a map depicting India during the reign of Emperor Akbar. This engraving showcases the vastness of their empire and their influence on the subcontinent. The portraits of different Indian castes further highlight the diversity within Mughal society, from Brahmins to Kshatriyas and Sudras. Artistic masterpieces also emerge from this era. A Family of Tartars painting portrays an enchanting scene with ink, watercolor, and gold on paper. Similarly, an illustration from Madhu Madhavi musical mode transports us back in time as we witness a lady being brought in from a stormy night. The royal ram adorned with a golden chain exemplifies the splendor associated with Mughal royalty, and is through such detailed artworks like these that we can catch glimpses into their lavish lifestyle. Calcutta scene provides insight into how various nationalities coexisted in India during this period - Northern Indians, Mongols, Persians, Muslims - all contributing to its vibrant tapestry. Even everyday objects like Hookah bases were transformed into works of art by using zinc alloy "bidri ware" inlaid with gold. These exquisite pieces showcase not only craftsmanship but also reflect the refined taste prevalent among Mughals. Lastly, The Emperor Jahangir's portrayal within his Zenana reveals his power and authority as he sits surrounded by beauty depicted through ink pigments and gold on paper.
