A larger image of a Marriage Procession in a Bazaar, 'Ramayana', Mandi, India, 1645
Painting at the Hindu courts in the early seventeenth century displayed a spectrum of styles that derived in varying degrees from the
Chaurapan-chasika (traditional Rajput) and Mughal traditions. Although painting is known from only one court in the hill states, Mandi.
Source.
A princely bridegroom on a horse is escorted to his wedding by riders, attendants and musicians.
Painted by a Mughal-trained master working at the Hill court of Mandi, this procession scene gives an unusually vivid view of a prosperous 17th century bazaar.
The shops sell brass vessels, pan (betel-leaf), sweets, glass or ceramic flasks and vases, knives, daggers and sword-hilts, textiles, and grains and pulses.
Held by the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford
