The city palace had not only preserved the museum but also many stories of the kingdom, local city and its people.

The map with events of 1857-58 introduces us to all the times of British existence. There is also a spectacular Arial view image of the Fort that almost left everybody in awe.

While exploring the backside of the fort, one can witness that Kota bairrage dam built up in 1960 had major effects on the Garh palace buildings. It flooded the basements of Jhala Haveli and the blasting for construction severly damaged and made it a derelict ruin. The large wall paintings were removed prior to the blasting and are on display in the National Museum in Delhi.

The preserved skins of Deer, Indian Lion, Bear, Indian Bison, etc. indicate towards the hobby of hunting that the Royal Families possessed.
