History
The Chitrashala was commissioned by Rao Raja Ummed Singh in the 18th century as a private retreat and a space to indulge in his passion for art. Rao Raja Ummed Singh was a great patron of the arts and encouraged the development of the Bundi school of painting. The murals within the Chitrashala were created over a period of several years by local artists who were influenced by both Mughal and Rajput styles. The paintings provide a valuable insight into the life and times of the Bundi rulers and the cultural traditions of the region. Over the centuries, the Chitrashala has been carefully preserved, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty and artistry of this historical treasure.
