About ShahJahan Honouring Prince DaraShukoh At His Wedding C. 1635 1650 Vintage Indian Miniature Art Painting
The sihra bandi was a Hindu wedding tradition adopted by the Mughals whereby, on the eve of his marriage, a veil (sihra) was fastened around the groom’s forehead to protect him from the evil eye. This painting depicts Shah-Jahan, seated beneath a night canopy decorated with silver stars, fastening the sihra, made of strands of pearls set with rubies and emeralds, around the head of Prince Dara-Shukoh, who wears gold robe of honour. The Padshahnamah texts records that this was the same veil that Shah-Jahan had warn for his own sihra bandi ceremony: 'In accordance with the custom of Hindustan, for good luck His Majesty fastened around the Prince's head the sihra, which consists of strands of lustrous pearls with brilliant rubies and emeralds, and which His Majesty Jannat-Makani [Jahangir] had fastened with his own blessed hand around His Majesty's [Shah-Jahan's] head on the eve of his marriage.'
