About
The massive pillars have intact their original stone bases. Architecturally, they are fascinating hybrids of Indian, Mughal, and European (British) motifs. The blue color is known as “Krishna” blue. According to Hindu belief, the infant Lord Krishna was once bitten by a scorpion, causing his skin to turn a bluish hue. By convention, Krishina is usually depicted with a vividly blue face and it became popular to paint buildings blue as an act of piety and worship. The paint, gently but deeply aged, appears to be original.Details
