About Jhalawar Garh Palace and Bhawani Natyashala
Madan Singh, first ruler of the Jhalawar state carved out of Kota in 1838, built the Garh Palace in the middle of the town; the Government Museum inside has sculpture from the district and Hadoti paintings, and the Zenana Khas keeps its murals. Bhawani Natyashala, in the palace compound, is a 1921 theatre built for Parsi-style drama with a stage deep enough for horses to be ridden on from below.
