teacher Arjuna and his relative Krishna, X fights for the
Kauravas, since Krishna had promised Duryodhan that his
Narayani army will fight for Kauravas. Throughout the war, X

Abhimanyu (his own student), he checks Bhima's advance on
the 14th day and defends Jayadratha against Arjuna. He also

marriage that lasted less than two decades. She grew as an
orphan in New York but met a real life prince of an Asian state,
while majoring in Asian studies. They fell in love and married a
few years later. She was soon crowned as the Queen. The
kingdom was a small one, surrounded and threatened by
countries on all sides. Yet, her husband, as an able ruler,
retained a measure of independence. Generally, the Indian
government used to address the kings of states such as these
as ‘Maharaja’, but on the king’s special request, he was
addressed as X instead, (which means righteous ruler), the
traditional title by which the kings of this dynasty were
addressed. When all was going well, the fairy tale converted
into a nightmare. Both of them had an affair outside marriage
while the state itself was under annexation threats from India.
At last, the state was annexed into India and the king put
under house arrest. She along with her children returned to
the USA to avoid house arrest. She now lives as a lecturer and

pillars, all of which are monoliths i.e. carved out of a single

music. Although it isn’t sure if it was done on purpose but
scholars believe it is highly unlikely that this property of the
pillars is by accident. A variety of Indian classical texts talk
about the architecture and the sound emitting properties of
stones. Some of the interesting things you can see here are: ●
Set of towers which emit sound similar to the seven notes of
Indian classical music ● Pillars having sculptures of

first UNESCO World Heritage Site to be ‘virtually’ deposited
into the Arctic World Archives only last year. Before being
discovered by accident by an Englishman around 200 years

dense forests surrounding it. In 2012, the state government
also planned to make complete replicas of four ‘portions’ of
this site so as to reduce crowding in the originals, and enable
visitors to receive a better visual idea, which was difficult due
to dim light in original site. Though, these were not a success

154. व वध भारत X is an Indian art form, which is a branch of
Mughal painting. With influences from Persian and British
styles, the artform shows a infrequent fusion of native and
foreign elements. But, unlike Mughal paintings, X draws
inspiration from daily life of common people. Caste
occupations and local festivals dominate the subject of these
paintings. These paintings don’t have any landscape and are
painted directly with a brush. Known for the development in
shading of solid shapes, this art form is characterized by
scrawny faces, thick eyebrows and sunken eyes. A!er
attaining fame and glory, by late 19th / early 20th century, X
saw a decline in demand and patronage. A possible reason
might be the competition it faced from other folk art form,
which is marketed both at home and abroad. Identify X. 8
