From the date of its foundation until 1949, his palace served as the main residence of Sawai Jai Singh's successors and as the centre of the Jaipur court administration.  Today, the palace includes a privately owned museum of courtly arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistorically one of India's most important royal complexes, Jaipur City Palace was always much more than the residence of a maharaja.  It was also a site of religious ritual, a place of entertainment, a centre of politics and court ceremony, and a source of patronage for music, literature, dance and painting.  This book describes and illustrates the palace buildings and the many activities that they accommodated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION:\u003cbr\u003eThe History and Culture of an Indian Court\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dynastic Succession\u003cbr\u003eThe Place Buildings\u003cbr\u003eFestivals and Ceremonies\u003cbr\u003eArtistic Identity\u003cbr\u003eEducation and Sports\u003cbr\u003eGovernance\u003cbr\u003eKachchwaha Dynasty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Vibhuti Sachdev \/ Roli Books \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153488867696,"sku":"24115","price":41.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/24115.jpg?v=1793910275","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/jaipur-city-palace","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
