Stain Glass Artist

  
 

 
  An l8 century Rajput leader, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh III, and Bengali architect, Vidyadhar Chakraborty built this wailed city of Jaipur. This walled city was painted pink for the visit of Prince Albert, in 1856 and, thereafter, was referred to as the “Pink-City’, The walled Pink City remains Jaipur’s commercial and cultural centre complete with palaces, temples, museums, crowded markets and congested streets.
This rich heritage of India can also be seen in stain glass art form. One of the leading stain glass artist of India is Pushpendra Singh Rathore, the guide from the bedazzling, regal city of Jaipur. As a child, he was fascinated by the windows of colorful glass in their haveli. When he pecked through those shimmering stained glass windows of brilliant reds, greens blues and yellows he would have a glimmer of the beguiling stream of life outside.		  
 
         
 
 
 

Artistic endeavors had been his passion, not his job He started his avocation of artistic pursuits in painting and then moved on to designing textile prints and the blue pottery which Jaipur is famous for. At that point in his life he was confident in his artistic ability and determined to master the art form of stained glass on his own. Without any formal instruction, Rathore started to make stained glass panels that are uniquely Indian in technique, style, color and subject. In the beginning, he used discarded glass to construct a large chandelier, lamp shades, stained glass window panes and a roof panel for his own  home. Then he converted his stained glass passion from a hobby into an integral part of his life.

  

 
 

 

    

 
 

The Amber Fort-Palace which stands like a massive, silent guard over the Pink City, is one of the three Garland Forts which occupy the hilltops, just outside of Jaipur. Some of the glass, that was damaged, removed or stolen has been replaced with colored glass since last six years by Pushpendra Singh Rathore.
In 1994 Rathore initiated the restoration of the glass panel designs of the Sheesh Mahal For one panel, he first copied a pattern of the Ganesh, which is named for the figure of the elephant, on an aluminium sheet and experimented with the placement of his glass in a colorful mosaic to complete the Ganesh design Then he challenged himself to produce work better than what was in the original Sheesh Mahal. He went on to improve and redesign two other panels for the Sheesh Mahal, It took Rathore over 75 days of working, nine to ten hours per day, to complete one panel. His diligence, expertise, and enthusiasm have been driven by his desire, firstly, to preserve the art form made famous in the past by the Rajputs and, secondly, to create new designs and to adapt methods to build stained glass designs.

  

Restoration Work at Sheesh Mahal
 
 

His most recent works are two big panels of stained glass titled “The American Birds” and ‘The Peacock and the Peahen which has very minute work of stained glass not made ever before.
He draws the designs in geometrical or abstract shape, many times until the layout becomes final and matches the picture in his mind. After the layout is final, he draws on the sheet and cuts it in the accurate shape Thereafter the colored glasses are cut and put on the spot. He being spontaneous with colors does not have to plan them and finally all the colors are in balance creating rhythm in the panel. Then the panel is mounted by glasses and fixed in wooden panel .
Being artist by nature, his art makes him extremely impatient and curious as he starts to work on panel he’s just matching it with the accurate picture set in his mind. His devotion, determination, skills  and creativity has produced a spellbinding variety of vibrant motifs and designs. The techniques and crafts perfected over centuries continue to enthrall today’s generation. He is truly a living legend preserving stain glass art with great diligence.
