A Wooden Indian Colonnade With Five Arches and Candle Alcoves

This exquisite Indo-Saracenic colonnade, handcrafted in the 21st century from Sheesham wood, captures the timeless beauty of traditional Indian architecture. Currently in its natural unpainted state, the arcade showcases intricate carving and rich wood. The structure features five arches adorned with delicate floral and geometric motifs. The columns have square bases and fluted shafts with acanthus leaves. The arched brackets form a silhouette reminiscent of a Chhatri dome. Centered above each arched opening is the "Kalash," or "pot of prosperity," symbolizing abundance. Prominent motifs include pomegranate flowers, marigolds, mango leaves, and betel nuts. An intriguing detail is the arrangement of marigolds and mango leaves forming a Kalash above the pot of prosperity. This Indian structure is flanked by two walled segments, each side featuring four dome-shaped chambers, with two designed to hold candles. This arcade is a stunning tribute to the architectural heritage of Jodhpur.
