Torans
|
Built in the reign of Maharana Jagat Singh I (r. 1628 - 1652 CE), Torans
have high historic and symbolic significance as they represent the
generous donations made by the rulers of Mewar. The Architectural
style is reflective of the political ideology of resistance to Mughal
influence by the patron. Torans mark the ceremonial weighing or tula
daan of the rulers with Gold, Silver, Grain or Jaggery on important
events like visit to pilgrimage, birthday celebrations etc and thereafter
for distribution to the poor and to the Brahmins after which the
remainder was used to construct or maintain temples and reservoirs
throughout the state.
