Kotah Garh
Kotah Garh, also known as the City Palace, is a historic palace located in Kota, Rajasthan. The palace is the ancestral seat of the Raos and Maharaos of Kotah and has been open to the public as a museum since 1970. The museum houses a rich collection of arms and armor, royal regalia, textiles, miniature paintings, and wall frescos.
The foundations of the City Palace were laid in 1264 C.E. by Prince Jait Singh of Bundi on the spot where he sacrificed and buried the severed head of the defeated Bhil Chieftain Koteya. The palace achieved de facto independence from Bundi in 1624 C.E. and was later confirmed as independent by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1631 C.E.
The palace complex includes several notable structures, such as the Hathian Pol (main entrance gate), Baradari (reception hall), Gokaneshwar Mahadev Temple, Badal Mahal, Gulab Mahal, Purana Mahal, Arjun Mahal, Hava Mahal, Diwan-e-Aam, Akhada Mahal, and Kanvarpadi-ka-Mahal.
The walls of these royal apartments are adorned with paintings depicting floral and faunal diversity, hunting scenes, processions, and scenes from the legend of Lord Krishna.
