INSCRIPTIONS:
In upper border Maharaja Parataba Singha painted by Jivana Rama-ji

Combining Hindu traditions with Mughal architecture, jharoka portraits were particularly popular among the Kachhwaha maharajas of Jaipur, who frequently used them to project their own particular brand of rulership. The turban which the maharaja wears is equally typical of this school. Pratap Singh is perhaps most famous today as the patron of the Hawa Mahal, the Palace of the Winds, one of Jaipur's most instantly-recognisable monuments.
