Page 2 of 2 The Sheesh Mahal is a shadow of its past self. The small pieces of glass which cover it have turned blue with the passage of time. Dampness has also apparently taken its toll on the glass. The original paintings, which were once kept in small brackets in the chamber, have now been replaced by replicas.The people of the city, however, seem to be having a field day. 'This is a treat', says Master Sohan Lal, adding the people of Patiala had been kept away from the chambers for far too long. He said proper lighting facility needed to be created in the chambers so that they could be viewed properly. Other people while appreciating the step taken by the government, however, feel other parts of Quila Androon should also be opened to the public. |
