Mayo College Ajmer
Mayo College is not a college but a school that was built in 1875 by the British and hence named after the then viceroy of India, Richard Bourke, who also happened to be an Earl of Mayo. Modelled after the Eton College, it was meant to be Eton of India—an elite boarding school for educating the nobles and royals of Rajputana. Today it is the oldest school of its kind in India and one of the most prestigious ones. The alumni of the Mayo College count amongst the who’s who of India. What’s of interest to the traveller is its lovely building with a marvellous marble façade—a fine example of the ostentatious Indo-Saracenic architecture.
A very ornate central tower stands tall as the pride of the building. A series of small domed pavilions line the rooftop. The building has found itself on postage stamps on its centenary. You can not miss the colourful coat of arms of this college, which has all the elements of the Rajputana: the sun and moon to represent the Suryavanshis and Chandravanshis, a Bhil tribal with a bow and arrow, and a warrior with a sword, and a colourful peacock sitting on top. The motto reads ‘Let there be Light’. Mayo College also houses a museum inside its premises with some antique artefacts in its collection. You can only visit Mayo College with prior permission.
The main building of the college was designed by Major Mant in the Indo-Saracenic style which was popularised by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, the State Engineer of Jaipur. The building was constructed in eight years between 1877 and 1885 AD. A very ornate central tower stands tall as the pride of the building. A series of small domed pavilions line the rooftop. The building has found itself on postage stamps on its centenary. The Coat of Arms of the college has been designed by Lockwood Kipling, the former Principal of the School of Arts, Lahore and the father of the famous writer Rudyard Kipling.
Mayo College Museum, better known as Danmal Mathur Museum, is housed in Jhalawar House of Mayo College. Spread over 18 rooms, the museum may be one of its kind museums in India and also one of the best museums that any school can have in the world. The museum is in possession of a priceless collection of antiques and armory. The museum also has a vast collection of artifacts, old paintings, sculptures, photographs, coins pertaining to various areas of learning and knowledge.
