‘Jharokha’ is a Rajasthani word that means ‘a small window’. It is a term which when one hears, is forced to think of some famous old Bollywood songs, in which the heroine is waiting for the protagonist leaning against the ‘jharokha’. Beautiful Indian heroine, in a moonlit night, memorizing her beloved friend and trying to meet at the jharokha without fearing all odds, the imagination does not cease.
Jharokha has come a long way from ancient Indian home’s being mere or many mainly as a source of light and ventilation to being conceived as a divine concept. It has been seen in numerous paintings of Indian art primarily since Mughals times.
Jharokha paintings have great stands in Indian Architecture and are represented irrespective of any religion or home decor. In another form, it was also treated as a false window but literary it is a great place of a decorative element. In the royal king's history, such ‘Jharokha’ was also a part of the daily routine or ‘ritual’ where the king or emperors would appear to assure of their best health and well-being to his subjects.
