The
beautiful Bundi Palace complex is a fine example of the Rajput
architecture, housing some of the superb Bundi murals.
About the Place The palace is reached from the north - western end of the bazaar, through
a huge wooden gateway and up a steep cobbled ramp. Only one part of the
outer perimeter of the palace, known as the Chittra Shala, is officially
open to public. It is a fascinating pavilion and has a gallery of
miniature murals that embellish the palace. Elaborate colourful paintings
on the walls depict scenes from the 'Ragamala' 'Raaslila' -- the Radha-Krishna
story. You can see the renowned Bundi murals at the Chattar Mahal and
