Naqqakhana or drum platform. Built 1886, erected here 1926.
Carved in Shekhawati, Rajastan, India, for the Maharajah of
Jaipur who sent it to the Colonial and Indian Exhibition,
South Kensington, 1886. Wooden construction of Bombay teak on
concrete plinth with painted metal dome. Plan:
2-and-a-half-bay loggia, pierced balustrade, surmounted by
central cupola or chatri: no means of access to upper
platform. All surfaces covered with floral and geometrical
carving, entablature with inscriptions in English, Latin and
Sanskrit: "Where there is truth - is victory" (west front),
and "From the East comes light" (east front), deep overhanging
eaves with carved soffit. This is a reproduction in wood of
the drum platforms built of marble or sandstone in Northern
India from which drumrolls or fanfares in honour of rulers or
deities were sounded. It was presented to the Town Corporation
by the Imperial Institute when the adjoining Museum and Art
Gallery, (not included), was opened in 1926.
