The Mewar Ramayana is one of the world’s most beautiful iterations of the manuscripts—commissioned by Rana Jagat Singh of Mewar in 1649. The Guardian has both a selection of images and a lovely essay by William Dalrymple on this treasure. Or for a very special treat, scroll through an amazing digitized version over at the British Library.
