ancestral seat of the Raos and Maharaos of Kotah — the Museum has been open to
the public since 1970 C.E. The Museum has rich collections of arms and armour,

world–famous miniature paintings and wall frescos.
According to tradition, the foundations of
the City Palace (also known
as the Garh) were first laid in 1264 C.E. by Prince Jait Singh of Bundi on the
spot where he sacrificed and buried the severed head of the defeated Bhil
Chieftain Koteya who had previously ruled the region. The name ‘Kotah' is often
said to memorialize the human sacrifice (nar bali) of Koteya, although it may

Bundi in 1624 C.E. when Rao Ratan Singh of Bundi’s second son — Rao Madho Singh
— asserted sovereignity over Kotah City and eight surrounding districts

issued an Imperial proclamation (farman) confirming Kotah’s independence. Madho
Singh’s descendants continued to rule Kotah — often in the service of the
Mughal and British Empires — until 1948 C.E. when the Kingdom formally merged
