a beautiful town in Rajasthan, speaks for the colorful history. It is
located on the eastern bank of the Chambal River. Kota is well known for
its ancient palaces, havelis or mansions and castles. During 17th
century it was declared as a separate state by Emperor Jahangir and was
then ruled by Rao Madho Singh. In comparison to those times, the city is
a modern settlement now and is now famous for its natural and man made
marvels.Dussehra is one of the prime festivals of Rajasthan and is celebrated with great pomp and magnificence in Kota. It showcases the ninth day of the battle between Rama and the Ravana. On the tenth day, Ramlila enactments are done along-with other devotional programs. PLACES TO SEE IN KOTA Maharao Madho Singh Museum Maharaja Madho Singh Museum is located in the old palace, with an excellent collection of Rajput miniature paintings of the Kota school, superb sculptures, frescoes and armoury.
