Revel in kingly splendor"Bling" can take many forms these days, from a rock on a finger that can blind with its sparkle to a flashy grill covering a rapper's smile. But bling has been around for centuries, evidenced in the exhibit "Maharaja: The Splendor of India's Royal Courts" at San Francisco's Asian Art Museum that runs through April 8. Organized by London's Victoria and Albert Museum, the exhibit features almost 200 artworks that offer a look at the opulent world of India's maharajas, the Sanskrit word for "great kings." Works from the 1700s to the mid-20th century provide an inside look of India's royal courts via elaborate jewelry, ornate weaponry, stunning costumes, paintings and other words. Included is a large feather-shaped gold pin, circa 1730-1755, studded with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and a pearl — a major piece of "bling" — was created to adorn an Indian king's turban. The image of a turbaned and bejeweled ruler with absolute authority and immense wealth is a romantic one, but it misses the real role maharajas played in the cultural and political history of India.
