Angels of Ahmedabad
A glimpse into decorative art and embellishments in
Havelis, Traditional Pol House of Ahmedabad

A spiritual being believed to act as an attendant, agent, or messenger of God, conventionally represented in human form with wings and a long robe. Angels have always been with us, in every time and culture. Through pictograms, paintings, poetry, and childrens stories our ancestors down through the ages have passed on whatever they knew about these beings. Angels transcend all religions and are apparent in most. Angels messages come to us in the form of feelings of unconditional love, bring deeply cared for, greater self-acceptance, and inner peace. These are all signs of Angelic connection. Ornamental Art in Architecture, in addition to enhancing the beauty of Structures, also shares the narratives that form a significant part of our heritage. The exquisite details highlighted here reveal the finesse, precision and creativity of many of craftsmen and their patrons. City Heritage Collection attempts to document and popularise the unique Heritage of our cities and their protection for our future generations.
