This is the museum’s Cradle Gallery. It is located in a part of
the palace called Jhanki Mahal, which translates as the Palace of Glimpses…because
from here, women could peep through the stone Jali screens and amuse themselves
with the activities in two separate courtyards, one on each side…the
Coronation Courtyard and the Courtyard of Treasures… Several beautiful
cradles, including an electric powered one made for the present Maharaja,
make up a rare and unique collection.
