Nidhin, thank you for the translation, and Jim, I am a bit uncomfortable with the Udaipur expression, as none of us can be quite sure from where exactly it origins. I would feel better to say that it is Mewar/Rajput till we know more about it's origin.
It is however a fact, that these hilts are seen on variations from very slim, to slim, to 'normal' and to rather thick. This could be an indication of origin, but it could also be an indication of fashion - an interesting thing to research.
