Art Activity in the Amber-Jaipur region through the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries
The above mentioned project is in conjunction with my ongoing PhD thesis. The award given to me in 2012, was timely while I was collecting sources for my thesis. It has been of immense help in expanding and enriching my primary and secondary material. I was able to examine major collections of Indian paintings at various museums in UK. I had access to many publications on Indian art (especially sale catalogues) which are not easily available in India.

Clothing as Material of Religious Subjectivity in ISKCON India.
My project was part of a doctoral study of clothing as religious materiality in the Hindu group called ISKCON or “International Society for Krishna Consciousness”. The India Travel Award helped fund my research trips to the sacred town of Vrindavan to study the embroidery industry and to the Calico Museum of Textiles, Ahmedabad, Gujarat to view Indian textile artefacts.
