The Rup Sagar and the Keshav Bhavan in the garden palace at Dig.
- Scope & Content:
-
The palace pavilion called the Keshav Bhavan at Dig, viewed from the east across the water of the Rup Sagar,1830-35.
By an Agra artist.
Pencil and watercolour; 459 by 643 mm.
On wove paper with watermark ‘J. Whatman 1829.’ Inscribed: ‘Deig’ in margin lower left and numbered ‘No. 5’ in the upper left.
For the Dig palace, see G. Tillotson, ‘The Rajput Palaces’, Delhi, 1999, pp. 186-92.
Dig was the original capital of the Jat state, and the garden and water palaces at Dig were built about 1760 by Raja Suraj Mal (d. 1763) even after the capital had been transferred to Bharatpur. The palace consists of a central plan of four pavilions placed at the cardinal points round a ‘charbagh’ garden, with large tanks to west (Gopal Sagar) and east (Rup Sagar). It would appear to be part of a general survey of the Dig palaces undertaken by the British Agency during the minority of Raja Balvant Singh, whose rights to the ‘gaddi’ over that of his uncle Durjan Sal had been upheld by arms in 1825
