Why to visit Rao Madho Singh Museum
The museum throws light on the great heritage of Kota monarchs, is one of Rajasthan's best museums. The unusual collection of beautiful palanquins and ancient furnishings in the Rao Madho Singh Museum will undoubtedly transport you to the world that lived 389 years ago. When you visit the Kota fort Palace, the remnants of imperial splendour, along with all of its incredible items, will truly astonish you.
To go into the museum, you must first cross the Hathian Pol, which is the massive gate of the Kota Fort Palace. An old canon and elephants painted on either side of the gate may be seen at the entrance. The silver royal pipes retained at the palace serve as a reminder of the royal lifestyle that existed at the period. The museum's walls are covered in miniature paintings and photographs. Visitors are also drawn to the antique furnishings and sculptures on display.
The firescoes and typical Rajasthani mirror works that cover large sections of the museum's walls are quite breathtaking. There are also some incredible paintings of court scenes and hunting expeditions on display. The palace's Raj Mahal, now a museum, houses a collection of royal armoury, including knives and firearms with intricate wood carvings that silently retell the stories of the past.
It is said that during the reign of Mughal Emperor Jahangir in Rajasthan in the 17th century AD, Rao Ratan Singh, the king of Bundi, gave the Kingdom of Kota to his son, Rao Madho Singh. It was simple to go around Kota because it was located near the Chambal River. During Rao Madho Singh's reign, Kota's trade and commerce flourished, and it grew into an important city. The city fort palace, which has now been transformed into a museum, was built by Rao Madho Singh.
