The Chamba Rumal presented to Jessie Ann Tully by the Rani of Chamba on her betrothal in 1898


In July 1898, The Rani of Chamba on the betrothal of my grandparents presented my grandmother, Jessie Ann Tully with this remarkable rumal she had made for her. My grandmother was Governess to the Rajah's children.
My cousin donated it to the Glasgow Museum in Scotland in 1990. It was displayed by Glasgow Museums at the Hinduism exhibition in 1992. It is a piece of great importance, being of fine quality and with a direct connection to a 19th century Rani of Chamba. It is of cream silk embroidered using gilt wire braid thread. The design is in the form of the circular dance of Krishna and the gopis (milkmaids) in a meadow. The flute-playing Krishna in the centre magically causes each of the gopis to imagine that he is dancing with her alone. Other gopis accompany the dancers on musical instruments. The border consists of a design of flowers, peacocks and palm trees.
The object is housed in the reserve collections at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre in Nitshill.
