She adorned herself with exquisite makeup and jewelry to represent her royal stature. Her elegant style got her the name Bani Thani (or a well-decked woman).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn this miniature side-profile portrait painting, Bani Thani portrays big lotus eyes and long arched eyebrows with a sharp nose, chin, and jaw. These features represented an ideal woman’s beauty at the time — a symbol of elegance and grace. She is dressed like a bride with traditional Rajasthani sheer odhni (dupatta or scarf), adorned with gold and pearl beaded jewelry around her neck and on her head, ears, and nose. The veil in the painting is the cultural symbol of a woman’s modesty and honor. The artwork under the Rajputs had a religious character, which is why it is believed that Bani Thani’s portrait was inspired by Radha’s figure. Bani Thani is also seen holding lotus buds in her hand, which symbolizes her purity, an equivalent to the goddess Radha’s purity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRich and intricate, this compact composition is also bright, colorful and breathtakingly beautiful.
