| Shree Gusainji |
Shri Gusaiji was a connoisseur
of fine things in life - spiritual and material. Just as he helped preserve the best of the old world, he also took
ideas from the best of the new world.
It is in Shringar that we see some of the best fusion of
this ancient and modern ideals. The age old paagh was now decorated with expensive strings of pearls, rubies and emeralds,
a style very much in vogue at the imperial court.

Aigrettes with plumes of peacock
feathers were studded with precious stones, chokers worked in gold and precious stones replaced the enamel ornaments of the
previous era.
In this way, Shree Gusainji helped save
the embattled Hindu sense of self-confidence by introducing a new court at Govardhan. A court that could rival the imperial
court of Agra and yet be its best friend. Thus embodying the very spirit of the time.
