Anup
Mahal:
Anup
Mahal (Privy Council Room) has over elaborate prettiness - the
gold Vermilion varnished work. Accents are effected by slighting
the relief by replacing the vermilion background with a glorying
green, blue and violet, by motifs treated completely in gold and
by mirrors and mirrors or glass mosaic. The richest gift relief's
are found between the arches on top of the columns, which show
leaf work, but by multiplication of the leaves and flowers the
impression of a hill covered with Jungle is obtained. The glass
mosaic shows Rama And Sita in domed pair lions and surrounded by
Laxmana, Hanuman and other Royal followers. This mahal also
feature one throne where the rules would sit and entertain most of
his foreign guests and highly placed officials. Old and antique
carpets adorn this mahal. Maharaja Ganga Singhji had one carpet
made in Bikaner jail, this carpet was modeled on Persian design.
It also matches the walls of the room. This carpet is product of
Bikaner Jail, which leaves most visitors spell bound.
