Doli - Mehrangarh Fort Jodhpur

'Doli'  is a closed carriage in which the bride leaves for her husband's place. In the old days this carriage used to be carried by 4 people. The Royal barat used to be made up of thousands of people, horses, elephants, camels and what not. The Royal Dolis were very ornate, with gold brocades as above and even gold Doli's in some cases

Kanha, Anoop Mahal

The 'zhoola' or swing for Lord Krishna was used for the Janmasthami festival (celebration of Lord Krishna's birth). The entire zhoola is plated in gold. The two pillars have small dolls aligned vertically. These dolls rotate on their vertical axis when the swing is swung. :)
