The most striking aspect are outstanding #paintings The range&scale of the #frescoes here is mindblowingThey probably covered every micro millimeter of surface, both inside &outside.With time, their beauty has definitely faded but not the #narrative structure or artistic quality
@AudreyTruschke have you come across the story of Guru Har Rai, Aurangzeb and the etymology of Dehradun to the Guru’s son Ram Rai in your research? I don’t have any historical authenticity to the story I’ve written in the blog. Please suggest some reference if you know.Thank you
