The contents of the museum are very rich, with pictures, weapons, sedan chairs, a few daily necessities, and a variety of baby shakers in a long corridor.

But there are very few gold, silver and jewelry, and Xueluo thought, maybe the historical relics on display here are of little value. Let's start by looking at the old photos and miniature paintings. The first thing that catches your eye is the former owner of this place, the king of the earth domain. As mentioned earlier, Xueluo sees these "kings" as such.

Before submitting to the Mughal Dynasty as a second-class vassal state, he could be called a "king", although it was a very small country, after all, he was the boss; after submitting to the Mughal and later British India, he was reduced to a vassal state, and the "king" at this time could only be called "vassal king" or "princely lord"; these Rajput former "kings" were completely stripped of their power, and only their family property remained.

At this time, the "king" can only be called the "prince". Fortunately, it also has the word "king" that talks about **. The figure in this large-scale miniature painting is the 29th king of the reigning Mughal vassal state of Rasore.

The exhibits are all early historical paintings, and the content is basically depicting scenes from the life of the Tuvassal kings. These early miniature paintings were painted with all-natural pigments, so they did not fade for a long time.

The paintings come from the Marwar painters, who lived in the Jodhpur area for a long time. The paintings and photographs in the Palace Museum depict the kings of the earth domains with their sedan chairs and elephants. The contents of these paintings in the palace museum depict the scene of the king of the earth clan sitting on the back of an elephant and leading his troops into battle.

The Palace Museum is a picture of the extravagant life of the Tuvassal King in the royal palace.

From these pictures, you can really feel what it means to be a local tyrant. How do local tyrants live in India? Most of these miniature paintings were made in the century, reflecting the costumes and life of the Rajasthan vassal kings, their families, courtiers, and court ladies in that era.

The knife in the middle has a very beautiful pattern on the blade. The Rajputs of Rajasthan are a warlike ethnic group, with Mongol conquests and internal strife between vassal states.

The sedan chariot used by the Tuvan King at the Royal Palace Museum is one of the museum's major exhibits.

With the increasing prosperity of modern means of transportation, these antique-level sedan chariots are getting farther and farther away from society, and they are just placed here to exert the rest of the heat. The most luxurious of the sedan chair series exhibited in the Palace Museum is the wooden gilded sedan chair in the upper left corner, showing the majesty of the king. The little ones that didn't carry the handles were the elephants, and they sat on the elephant's back.

Several of the ones with metal lion motifs are silver-plated, and the surface is oxidized and black, and it loses its silver shine.

There are so many baby shakers in the Royal Palace Museum, how many babies have to use them at the same time.

There are more than 30 concubines in the reign, and there are groups of concubines, so it is no wonder that the cribs are much more prepared.

It is located in the middle of the building, surrounded by a corridor, and there are no windows to the outside, so the interior should be dimly lit.

However, because the walls and ceiling are inlaid with many small reflective mirrors, the interior is bright even though it is lit by a chandelier. In addition to many small rectangular mirrors, there are also very beautiful white marble reliefs that have been painted and inlaid with porcelain tiles. The contents of the relief mosaics of the Palace of Mirrors include figures and flowers.

The outer row of stained glass doors is very beautiful. The stained glass parquet on the door is varied, and the colored light projected from the outside is varied, giving the interior a dreamy feeling.

Bedroom. The place where the king of the earth domain slept. The protagonist of the dormitory - the bed is incredibly simple - seems to be a light bed for a nap, perhaps the old prince's good bed has been removed, the floor is covered with plain flower handmade blankets, and the stained glass windows.

In the picture on the lower left, the army led by the king of the earth forms a huge array, and they march forward on horseback with weapons in hand.

There is a powerful momentum that seems to rush out of the wall, but the painting on the right is a very relaxing scene: the king of the earth is leisurely hunting, and a court maid rides behind him on a camel, with a bow and looks left and right for prey. The camel was dragged by the king of the earth with its head held high, and ran happily with small steps.

Beside him, several attendants rode horses to help drive the prey to the king of the domain. The contrasting atmosphere of the two paintings reflects the real life in the royal palace of that era: fighting and having fun at the same time. Standing on the platform of the castle palace and looking west, the scenery of the blue city has been seen. The reason why these houses are painted blue.

It is said that the color blue represents the abode of the "Brahmins", and the color blue has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. 【Brahmins and the Hindu Caste System】The caste system is practiced in Hindu society. There are four castes: the first is the "Brahmin". Mainly monk aristocrats, who had the privilege of interpreting religious scriptures and worshipping gods.

The Brahmins, the highest caste, are less than 4 percent of the population, but hold seventy percent of the judiciary and nearly half of the seats in parliament, while the second is the Kshatriya. The military aristocracy and the administrative aristocracy, who had the privilege of collecting various taxes, and the third estate, the Vaishyas. It was a class of Aryan free commoners, who were engaged in farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, etc., and had no political privileges.

The first two ranks must be supported in the form of alms and taxes; The vast majority were conquered indigenous peoples, belonging to non-Aryans, who worked in more lowly occupations. In addition to the four major castes, there is also a large "fifth caste" known as the "untouchable" class, also known as the "untouchables" or "Dalits".

Most of them are engaged in the lowest occupations. Over a long period of time, the caste system in India has become more and more complex, with thousands of sub-castes emerging beyond the four castes, each of which is hereditary in occupation and does not intermarry with each other in order to maintain strict boundaries, essentially a class system. India has undergone several social formations from ancient times to modern times.

But the caste system has endured and has become an instrument of domination for generations of exploiting classes. After India's independence, the caste system was abolished, and the Indian constitution explicitly stipulated that class discrimination was not allowed, but the caste system still retains a huge influence on today's Indian society, especially in rural India.

Standing on the platform of the palace, you can also see the new palace in the southeast, but it is inhabited by neither kings nor princes, but princes who have no power and only money. You can really feel it from the old and new palaces.

The royal family of Jodhpur is rich and rich, and it is a real local tycoon. The place where Xueluo stood was on the north platform high up in the palace, on which there were several old cannons, and a winch, a device for lifting water from below. Standing here and looking north, you can see a white building located on the edge of a small lake, where there is a memorial hall of the princes.

After seeing the castle for a while, when you go to the next attraction, stop by and take a look. It is located on the shore of the small lake of Gulabsaga, not far from the east side of Merangar Fort. The main building is a white marble building that is a memorial to the throne of Jaswan Singh, the 30th vassal king of the Rasore Kingdom, in 1873.

It was built in 1899 by order of his widow. This is the memorial of the Merangal royal family and one of the best places to see the Merangal Fort from afar.
