A study of the European influence on Mughal painting and decorative art in Indian museum collections
MA student, National Museum Institute, New Delhi
The award helped me tremendously in completing my dissertation as part of my studies and research programme while doing my MA final in History of Art at the National Museum Institute, New Delhi. It helped me visit various museums and monuments in Delhi, Agra, Varanasi, Jaipur, and Rampur, to study the original works and also obtain the photographs. It enriched my work in quality as well in the comprehensiveness of my analysis and conclusions. Some of the visuals were included for the first time ever in my report. I successfully completed the post-graduation in History of Art in 1995 in First Division, with First Position and was awarded the Gold Medal for my achievement.
I am working (2000) on "Wooden Temples of Uttarakhand" as registered PhD scholar (HNB Garhwal University Srinagar. The award immensely helped me to enhanve my own knowledge. As Mughal art is part of the syllabus at university level, I am able to disseminate my research through teaching and I plan to review the work done in wider perspective for publication.
