  • This canopy was one of the many richly decorated textile furnishings used at the Indian court. It would have been suspended over the <i>gaddi,</i> the textile used as the rulers seat. The canopy represented divine sanction and protection, and also helped to mark out the royal space within the court. The use of a canopy to denote kingship has a very long history in India, originating in the basic need to shield the ruler from the heat of the sun but evolving into a symbolic decorative structure that was often use in interior courtly settings.
