The Royal Palace:
The masterpiece red sandstone architecture of
the palace reflects largely Hindu architectural traditions. Still the palace buildings
display ample evidence of the impact of Muslim decorative elements, some
apparently drawn from sources such as Persian miniature paintings. Many of
the walls were brightly painted, but little of that painting remains. Floors would
have been covered with carpets; a variety of other furnishings, collections
of ceramics and glass, and other objects would have filled the rooms.
The well-preserved condition owes to the extensive restoration work carried by
British archeologists before the Independence.
