Overview of Bagh Umrao Dulha - Bhopal

Bagh Umrao Dulha Pillar is a stone pillar situated in the middle of the road in the garden Umrao Dulha in the Barkhedi area of Bhopal. This column was established in the year 1880 by Shahjahan Begum from any site and established here. The column is 20 feet long, with the counting of the opposite lotus flower on top. There are iron hooks around the top of this column, which indicate that this column is used as a lamp post in the past period. The two-and-a-half feet of the column is rough, the upper part is opaque polished, due to which some scholars consider it to be medieval. In fact, the pillar is of the Gupta period. This 4-5th century pillar has been established in front of a temple near the town. In fact, the pillar belongs to the Gupta period, because in the above column there is a parallelism of the columns made of Ashoka's time, as if the column is plain pointed and smooth. The vine is separated from the flower, etc. The top of the column has been broken, on which one of the idols of lion, horse or elephant or Taurus etc. has been present.

The column has been constructed with the same stone and the coating which has been coated on the stone has been done in such a way that the column metal is still manufactured. The column is the Gupta period of the fourth-fifth century. At present, due to the position of the column on the crossroads in the middle of the road, the common people used to sit on the terrace.

The Bagh Umrao Dulha region was an advanced and prosperous garden, distributed on more than twelve acres in the Bhopal Nawabi period, in which the Baradari (twelve-door houses) were located in more than one number for the members of the Nawab family. The column was established in the midst of Baradari. The columns of bathrooms were made of marble, which is beautiful examples of Mughal Vastu art and craft. The column was used as a column of light for lighting in the bathroom near the Baradari.
