Details
This beautifully illustrated volume captures the artistic and cultural legacy of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah (1822-1887), the last ruler of Awadh. A poet, Kathak dancer, and patron of the arts, Wajid Ali Shah drew inspiration from Krishna Leela, incorporating its amorous themes into his poetry and personal life. The book explores the grandeur of Lucknow during his reign, highlighting the flourishing dance, music, and artistic traditions he nurtured. It also presents a scholarly examination of his poetry, musical expertise, and historical significance, along with English translations of his verses. Featuring exquisite paintings depicting his cultural and personal life, the book offers insights into the Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb, the harmonious fusion of Hindu and Muslim traditions that defined Awadh’s cultural ethos.
