Presenting a rare and dazzling Mughal miniature painting you will not find elsewhere. It is a handmade depiction of a game of polo at court in the Mughal Empire.

Polo is one of the oldest team sports known to man. A game of central Asian origin, one of the earliest references to the game in Persia (Iran), known there as chaugan (meaning mallet), is in Karmamak-i-Ardishi-i-Papakan. It mentions that the founder of Sassanian dynasty Ardashir was adept at the sport.

In India First Mughal emperor Zahir ud-din Babur established chaugan at the Mughal court. Mughal Emperor Jalal ud-din Akbar, an outstanding player himself, introduced a set of rules in 1560s & invented an illuminated ball for playing at night as well. He was also known to have gold & silver knobs fixed at the end of his mallet.

The modern artist has executed the painting in minute delicacy with a marked attention to detail of the dazzling melee of horses and the royal polo players along with some of the other objects common in polo. The art brings out the specter of the game and will make you feel like you are live at the royal sport.

This is Mughal style art at its finest. The handmade artwork has been brilliantly achieved with use of meticulous brushwork and fine watercolors, ink and gold.
