The museum's treasures are its mellow murals. It has a rich collection of miniature paintings of the Kota school, an impressive armoury, royal artifacts and a hall of mirrors with delightful paintings.
Boat Ride on Chambal River
The river Chambal runs through the city and has created some dramatic canyons and gorges. The river is deep and wide and the high banks are home to an incredible number of birds. Small motorised boats can be chartered by the hour to take a leisurely ride on the river. Expect to see Egyptian Vultures, Snake Birds, Pied Kingfisher, Great White Pelican, Black Stork, Brown Hawk Owl, Red-headed Vulture, Jacanas and many more.
Visiting Weavers of Kota Saris
Kota and some nearby villages are famous for their Doria saris. The distinctive use of yarn of varying gauges creates the graphic pattern in these Kota Doria saris. Although cotton is mainly used, the same pattern is also made in silk or a combination of cotton and silk. The heavier yarn gives the fabric a beautiful drape, and the lighter threads make it a delightfully light sari to wear - welcome in India's hot climate.
