About this source
What it is
This photograph, taken in 2011 by Ram Kishor Jalkha, shows a glass-covered diorama at the protected Haldighati battlefield monument site. The model uses miniature painted figures of soldiers, horses, elephants and camels to recreate the battlefield landscape.
Why it matters
Haldighati was the site of the 1576 battle where Pratap Singh led Mewar's forces against the Mughals. This modern diorama and its protected monument status show how the site continues to be preserved and presented to visitors today as a place of historical memory, rather than being an object from Pratap's own time.
Look closer
- What choices has the model-maker made about scale and detail to tell the story of the battle?
- Why might this site have been given official protected status?
- What can a diorama like this teach us, and what can it not show, about the real battle?
