This is one of the finest museums in Rajasthan and certainly the best layed out. In the palanquin section of the fort museum, you can see an interesting collection of old royal palanquins including the elaborate domed gilt Mahadol palanquin, which was won in a battle from the Governor of Gujarat in 1730.

Mirrors and Coloured Glass
by keeweechic
The stained glass windows are vivid in colour and when the sunlight shines from behind, it can create a beautiful multi-coloured effect in the rooms. The mirror work includes large and regular pieces as well as tiny intricate mosaic fragments. More often than not, these rooms were used more like a private pleasure palace.
