Large Udaipur Procession Painting – 6×2 ft Original Miniature Art on Silk
This extraordinary original miniature painting presents Udaipur as a grand royal city, combining a traditional procession with the city's palaces, temples, lakes and surrounding Aravalli landscape.
At an impressive 72 × 24 inches (6 × 2 feet), the artwork is substantially larger than a conventional miniature painting while retaining the intricate visual language of Indian miniature art. Painted on natural silk, it is designed to function as a major statement piece while rewarding close inspection of its finely rendered figures, architecture and landscape.
At the heart of the composition is a traditional royal procession moving through Udaipur, surrounded by the architectural and natural features that define the historic city.

Udaipur Presented as a Complete Cityscape
Rather than focusing on a single monument, this painting creates a broad visual interpretation of Udaipur.
The composition incorporates important elements of the city including Jagdish Temple, City Palace, Jag Mandir, Monsoon Palace, the lakes of Udaipur and the Aravalli Hills.
These locations are woven into one continuous miniature landscape, allowing the viewer to experience Udaipur as a complete royal environment rather than as an isolated architectural study.
The procession provides the central narrative of the painting, while the surrounding architecture and landscape establish the setting.
A Royal Procession Through Udaipur
The procession is the visual focal point of the artwork.
Figures move through the city around Jagdish Temple, creating a sense of ceremony and movement within the otherwise carefully structured architectural composition.
The scene reflects the grandeur associated with traditional Indian royal processions while placing that narrative firmly within the distinctive landscape of Udaipur.
For collectors interested in Indian historical art, the combination of royal procession, architecture and cityscape makes the work particularly rich in subject matter.
The Golden Details
One of the most distinctive features of the painting is its use of gold leaf.
Gold detailing has been applied to selected elements including parts of the procession, Jagdish Temple and City Palace, giving these areas additional visual prominence.
Against the natural colours and architectural details of the composition, the gold creates points of illumination and reinforces the ceremonial character of the scene.
The result is a painting that changes subtly depending on the viewing distance and surrounding light: from a distance, the gold contributes to the overall royal character; closer inspection reveals individual decorative applications.
A Morning View of Udaipur
The painting represents Udaipur in a morning setting, allowing the architecture and landscape to be presented in a brighter atmosphere than a traditional night scene.
This distinction is important because it allows the natural colours of the city, surrounding hills and lakes to remain visible throughout the composition.
The morning setting also creates a useful contrast with the royal procession, combining the everyday visual landscape of Udaipur with a ceremonial royal event.
Udaipur, the City of Lakes
Udaipur's lakes are an important part of the composition.
The city is represented together with its water bodies, palaces, temples and surrounding hills, reflecting the geographical character that has made Udaipur one of Rajasthan's most recognizable historic cities.
The inclusion of the Aravalli Hills adds another layer to the composition, placing the city within its wider natural landscape.
This makes the artwork particularly suitable for someone seeking a large Udaipur painting that represents more than a single palace or monument.
Traditional Miniature Technique on a Monumental Scale
The unusual aspect of this artwork is the relationship between its large physical size and miniature technique.
At 72 × 24 inches, it has the visual presence of a large wall painting. Yet the work is created in the miniature tradition, with intricate figures, architecture and decorative elements distributed throughout the composition.
The artist, Mr Raj, is described by ArtUdaipur as having more than 30 years of experience in Indian miniature painting.
The artwork required approximately 2.5 months of work and more than 2,000 hours of painting, according to its description.
Natural Silk as the Painting Surface
The artwork is painted on natural silk, selected as the surface for this traditional Indian artwork.
Silk gives the painting a distinctive character and allows it to be presented as a large wall-hanging artwork while retaining the delicate appearance associated with miniature painting.
The painting is an original, single-piece work, rather than a reproduction.
