Palanquins:
Palanquin was a popular mode of travel for the ladies of the nobility, till the second quarter of the 20th century. On special occasions, the male nobility and the royals also used them. This gallery displays one of the richest collections of palanquins in Rajasthan. The most exquisite ones include Pinjas, the covered palanquin beautifully decorated with lacquer paintwork. Another one is Rajat khasa, the beautiful lotus shaped royal silver palanquin used by the maharajas.
