Architecture Of Bhoslas Of Nagpur (vols.2 Set)

The book gives a vivid picture of the style of architectur eof the Bhoslas of Nagpur resembling, to that of the palace and Wadas of rulers and chiefs of Satara in Maharashtra. But so far as the characteristic feature layouts, and motif are concerned the Satara styles it self can be termed as an off shoot of the later Mughals in the Deccan. When Raja Raghuji I of Nagpur, he found the political situation quite congenial he paid due attention to the development of the capital city of Nagpur. They were lovers of art and ARchitecture, which is reflected in their buildings, gardens and palaces. I was enamoured with marvel at the Architectur eof Bhoslas and I was influenced by its intensity. Moreover no research was taken up so far on the Architecture of Bhoslas. This inspired me to work on this subject. The interior of the palace and Wadas display their affinity towards religious practice and rituals. The Bhosla Rajas were not doubt staunch Hindus, but they were tolerant towards Islam and Muslim, saints and savant.
