The Art of Ancient Arms || A Cultural Heritage 🌱Discovering the Royal Fort's Hidden Treasures

Every era has different cultures and traditions. When I visited the Badshahi Mosque and the Shahi Qila, I also noticed many things that were probably considered the most modern things of that era. If we look at the Shahi Qila, when we enter the Shahi Qila, we saw people selling various goods there in the afternoon. They were selling traditional goods. There were also many toys among them. But what I liked the most was that the things that the kings used in the old days or the most famous things of that era were all there as models and in the form of toys. Whoever came there would buy these things. Among the things that stood out were the things that the kings of that era used, such as swords, spears and musical instruments. Many such things were also there, the pictures of which I took and I am sharing them with you all in this article.

If you look at the first picture, you can see a drum in it, which we call Dhol in our language. This drum is still played on occasions of happiness in our region and people dance and dance to its sound. They also perform the traditional dance of our region, which we call Ghumar. This also shows that this drum was used as a musical instrument in the old days. When the king had to be dried or the princesses danced happily, this drum was played. When there was a festival of happiness or any message had to be conveyed, this drum was played in the area to gather the people and after hearing the sound of this drum, people would gather at one place from far and wide and thus an announcement would be made there. This drum produces a very beautiful sound. This is also true. Some people do not like its sound, but this drum, this musical instrument, has been playing since ancient times and if you look, its history is several hundred years old even today. This same drum, whether made of wood or different materials, has the same value today and is heard and played in the same way as it was hundreds of years ago.

If I talk about the present time, the drum is very much liked in our village. When there is a wedding or a happy occasion, people forget the drummer and then put it on top of it. Apart from this, even in the month of Ramadan, the drummer would go to the streets and play the drum and wake people up for sehri because people would wake up after hearing its sound and thus it would be known that it was time for sehri. Apart from this, the drum is also played mostly in different events. Just like when there are kabaddi or wrestling games or cricket matches in my village, this drum is also played on it so that people are happy and dance. In this way, this drum is very much liked on happy occasions. In the old days, this drum was also liked by the kings and it is still liked today. I have uploaded its pictures here. And when you enter the royal fort, the sellers are selling these goods.

Apart from the drum, one thing I saw there is also being used a lot in today's time. These are some pot-like things that you can see in the beautiful pictures. We call them chhakuriya in our language. They are called chhakuriya. And these chhakuriyas are used when you keep bread in them. This is a bread-keeping vessel that is made of wooden straws and beautiful engravings are done on it. Beautiful designs are made and they are in different colors and these colored things. When this engraving is done on the chhakuris, they look very beautiful. This also makes it clear that these chhakuris are not being used in today's time, but they were used in old times even hundreds of years ago. If these chhakuris are used the most in villages, people in villages do it and they look very beautiful. When guests come, the bread stays warm in these beautiful colored chhakuris and they are wrapped in a cloth and placed in these chhakuris. If bread is placed in these baskets and served to guests, they look very beautiful and they are also hung on the walls inside the houses so that the walls look beautiful and the culture of the old days is clear. You can see in these pictures how beautiful the baskets are lying here and this indicates that they were used hundreds of years ago in the same way as they are being used today. When we look at these old things, we also remember the old times and when we compare them with today's Sunday, we feel a good feeling.

You can see in this picture that a door is made of wood and beautiful carvings have been done on this door. If we look at it today, such carvings are being done with modern machinery, but in the olden days, this carving was done by hand and beautiful carvings were made. Even today, people are making beautiful windows, doors and gates for houses with beautiful wooden carvings, which are reminiscent of the olden days.

You can see that beautiful wooden utensils have been made. If we use these utensils today, we can avoid many diseases. In today's era, the bone, stone and wooden utensils that are being made are a memory of the old times. In the old days, those who were kings or princesses used these beautiful utensils. These beautiful utensils are made of wood and different items were kept inside them. Some utensils were also made that were special for kings and princesses or were made to serve guests. Similarly, the wooden utensils were of many types. Among them, there were different types of utensils for drinking water and milk. There were different utensils for eating food. There were different utensils for kings. There were different utensils for guests. But each utensil was either made of stone or clay or made of wood. Some kings who were indulged in luxury also made gold and silver utensils and ate food in them, but in a simple and what we can say very beautiful way. The pots were made from clay, wood and various other materials. So these pots that you are looking at are beautiful art and when I took a picture of them, I liked them very much. These are clay pots and you can also keep different ornaments, you can also store food and you can keep your various valuables in them. This is also a beautiful art and a beautiful pot.

Now you can see that in it, the daggers that were used by kings and princes, swords that were used, spears that were used, their reflection is also visible in them. This is beautiful. And in what you are seeing, you are seeing swords, daggers, knives, all these things are those that were used in the old times and even today some people use them. When I entered the Badshahi Mosque and entered the boundaries of the royal fort, I saw all these things that a shopkeeper was sitting on the ground and these things were being sold on the steps of the royal fort. So I made pictures of these things. This is a very rare art and some people who come here for sightseeing buy these things and keep them as souvenirs in their houses and some people decorate these beautiful things on the beautiful walls of their houses so that the guests who come to their houses can see them. This is a beautiful art that has been going on since ancient times and even today everyone uses them. It feels like when I saw all these things, I took pictures of all these things and also made a video. Very soon I will share the video with you all. But I hope you find all these things very beautiful. All these things have been around since ancient times and even today people use them with the same passion and enthusiasm.

All these pictures that I am sharing with you people, I made them during my trip to the Royal Fort. The Royal Fort is my example and all these things that you are seeing, all these things represent the time when the king and princesses used to roam around the Royal Fort. Today, this Royal Fort has become just a place for tourists or a park for sightseeing. But at that time, the rulers of a state lived here. The king who was the most powerful king of his time lived here. His family and all the affairs of the empire were run from this Royal Fort. In these pictures, I have shown you the musical conditions, military instruments and everyday items that are now in front of us in the form of a beautiful art. Whenever we see all these things, we remember those things of ancient times when all these things were used by kings and slaves protected these things. Today is the modern era and the requirements of the modern era have also become modern, but all these items that were used in ancient times are now in homes. People also decorate them and use them. If you look at them, all these things are the most valuable things of today's era. These swords, these spears, these utensils, these hand-held fans, all these things remind us of the time when there was no machinery, when there was no electricity, how people used these things and how they fought wars without cannons and gunpowder. Because all these things were the most valuable things of that time, I hope you will like my article today. Thank you very much to all of you.
