Mandu
Created in 1401, Mandu is an example of the composite Hindu-Muslim culture of North India. Jain Kalpa Sutras and beautiful miniatures of the era testify to the liberal and open-minded atmosphere of the sultanate. Its architecture combines features such as domes of Islamic origin with brackets and a circulation system of Hindu origin.
The marvel of Mandu’s conception lies in the merging of water and landscape with architecture.
Sequences with a commentary that analyses the architecture, alternate with sequences with character dialogues and miniature paintings evoking the life in the palaces.
Classical North Indian music, Sufi and Jain hymns as well as Persian classical music accompany the images.
