in 1501. Later it passed into the possession of the

planned Jaipur's foundation. Laid out in the 18th
century, its design followed specifications from an
epochal Hindu treatise on architecture.

painted in the tones of an autumnal sunset, intersperses
the play of red and pink with white borders and motifs.

Jagannath and Kewal Ram. In all there are 17 instruments

instrument is rather complex but serves a particular
function where time plays the main theme.
