About Bundi Palace
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 'Raga mala'
'Raslila' -- the Radha-Krishna story. You can see the renowned Bundi
murals at the Chattar Mahal and Badal Mahal within the palace complex.
Chattar Mahal is a steep, paved carafe-way is the only way to reach the
monument. Of special interest in the palace is the Hazari Pol or Gate of
the thousand, the Naubat Khana, the Hathi Pol with its old water clock
and the Diwann-e- Aam. Flash photography is officially prohibited. The
palace looks beautiful, from a distance and when illuminated at night.
