Explanation:
Though the recently opened exhibition Sultans of Deccan India, 1500–1700: Opulence and Fantasy focuses mainly on the sultans of south-central India, art history reveals to us that the Deccan world was also notable for its strong female characters. Two stand out among them as particularly remarkable: Chand Bibi, the sixteenth-century queen of Ahmadnagar; and Mah Laqa Bai Chanda, the eighteenth-century poetess of Hyderabad.

Images from the Deccan of a female figure hawking, such as this one, are identified as idealizations of the historical figure Chand Bibi (1550–1600), who was one of the most intelligent, influential, and strategic military leaders of her era. Her life and social circle include many of the sultans and other notable historic figures featured in the exhibition.
Chand Bibi was the daughter of Sultan Husain Nizam Shah I of Ahmadnagar (r. 1553–1565). To create a political alliance, Chand Bibi was married to Sultan Ali Adil Shah I (r. 1558–1580) of Bijapur. After the assassination of her husband, Chand Bibi aided in the administration of the Bijapur sultanate, carefully guiding the young heir, Ibrahim Adil Shah II (r. 1580–1627), who had inherited the throne at the age of nine. For a short time, Chand Bibi herself even served as the Regent of Bijapur.
She later returned to her home in Ahmadnagar and continued to advise her young nephews, the rulers of Ahmadnagar, during complex, war-torn times. Again she found herself in a position of regent, and her grace under pressure, fearlessness in the midst of battle, and regal influence led her to gain the title of Chand Sultana.
Chand Bibi's image became a popular subject in both Deccani and Mughal painting. She is usually depicted hawking—an activity pursued by princes and sultans, rather than women. As seen in the artwork above, she rides a white horse whose lower half has been colored red with henna, possibly to symbolize wading through blood or bravery demonstrated in battle. One of her attendants carries a ceremonial sunshade, which not only indicates Chand Bibi's regal status but also doubles as a halo, highlighting the remarkable nature of this extraordinary woman.

Like Chand Bibi, the poetess and courtesan Mah Laqa Bai Chanda (1768–1824) also served as an important advisor to the royal court.
Chanda entered court life as a dancer, performing song and dance for the aristocratic public. She caught the attention of influential powers and, in 1803, Mir Nizam 'Ali Khan (r. 1762–1803) bestowed upon her the court title Mah Laqa Bai, which translates to "Madame Moon Cheek."
