'Symphony of Mewar' - A Royal Collection of Musical Instruments

The land of Mewar and its Maharanas, have over the years, provided immense patronage to persons engaged in performing arts, including those belonging to the field of music. Some of them took a very keen interest themselves. The massive collection is a result of their dedication and love for this fine art. Examples of the musical instruments are Tabla, Pakhavaj, a traditional Mewari instrument called Kamayacha, Violin, Taus, Sitar, Tanpura, Piano, Harmonium, and some old Gramophones, amongst others. These have passed down through the generations and some of them are as old as 200 years.
