12. KOTA |
Once a prosperous
Rajput state, Kota is picturesquely located beside the Chambal river,
surrounded by verdant forests and picnic gardens. The City Palace is a
grand structure. The entry to the place is through the Hati Pol, which
is brightly painted with figures of elephants. Kota is well known for
the Kota school of design. These elements have served
as the basis for designing the décor of this coach. The distinctive
features of the Kota school of art can be seen in the oil paintings
titled “ Raja aur Praja” ( The Monarch and his subjects ) on the
ceiling. I5t depicts Raja Ram Singh II (1826-66) of Kota amidst a royal
procession. |

13. SIROHI |
| This erstwhile state
has earned an enviable reputation the world over for its gold fort, near
Pratapgarh. Especially the coloured glass work within it is remarkable.
The style of work has a typically Indo-European flavour as European
influence is quite conspicuous. The rooms highlighted this style through
the framed works of art done in the same style. The ambiance and colour
scheme has also been designed in keeping with this school of Art. The
gold foil and glass work also has semi-precious stones embedded in it,
and has been done in a mix media created from co0ne and paint embossed
particle boards. The royal insignia has been placed prominently. Mounted
miniatures done in Sirohi schhol style lend a unique character to décor. |

14. UDAIPUR |
| Lazing on the edge
of lake Pichhola, Udaipur was the capital of Sisodia Rajputs after they
moved from Chittaur. The City Palace in Udaipur is a complex of
reception halls, residential suites and internal courts from which the
state lounge and bedrooms take their colour schemes- dominant blue and
white. The most fascinating of the inner courts is the Peacock Court
where Peacocks have been modeled in high relief and faced with coloured
glass mosaic. The lounge décor is influenced by the ‘Mor Chowk’ or the
Peacock Court. The medium used is a combination of the relief work and
Patra or oxidized white metal work. The royal crest of the state, in
alluring zardozi work, is set on the valance of the blinds. |
