This traditional craft beautifully blends aesthetic appeal with architectural utility. It showcases India’s ancient stone carving heritage preserved through centuries.
Understanding Jali Work
The word “jali” comes from the Sanskrit “jalaka,” meaning net or lattice. This art form involves making perforated stone screens with geometric shapes, floral themes, and sometimes calligraphy. These screens allow air and light to circulate while maintaining privacy and visual charm.
Historical Roots of Peacock Pair
Jali art has been integral to Indian architecture for centuries. It flourished during the Mughal and Rajput eras, introducing new motifs and styles. Around Varanasi, the craft evolved uniquely, combining Hindu symbolism with geometric designs brought by Mughals.
The Peacock Pair has decorated temples, palaces, ghats, havelis, and mosques. It serves both decorative and functional roles by enhancing ventilation and creating softly diffused light to keep interiors comfortable and private.
