Divine Landscape self-guided walk
Royal Botanic Gardens

Between the 17th and 19th centuries, maharajas from the Jodhpur region in northwest India created pleasure palaces with luxurious gardens in stark
contrast to the surrounding desert. The gardens were the centre for religious festivities and royal pastimes.

Court life is lavishly portrayed in the paintings on view in the exhibition Garden and Cosmos. Indian deities, omnipresent in the landscape, are depicted in lush groves and holy ashrams in shimmering compositions.

There are seven stops in the Divine Landscape walk, each matching a painting in the exhibition with a location in the neighbouring Royal Botanic Gardens.

With the inspiration of the maharajas, we invite you to wander through the tranquil beauty and sensuous delights of our own surroundings. Each of seven locations will transport you to the world of the maharaja's palace.
