Beehad
The piece
Along the Chambal the land is cut into ravines, the beehad of Dholpur and Karauli, and every rain carves the gullies a little deeper. Beehad is that land from above: its gullies carved low into red earth wool, its ridges left high, and its edge broken where the ravines run out. Shown as a rendering. Woven to order in Jaipur.
