Sardarsamand Palace now in Pali District, was a part
of the Jodhpur Dynasty some 90 years ago. The beautiful
artificial lake that was created to irrigate the barren
lands was taken up to construct the palace resulting
in shortage of water and unavailability of green grass
for the cattle.
My paintings of places and people of Rajasthan in traditional
jewellery and colorful clothes show my passion towards
my heritage.
