Maharaja
Suraj Mal, the valiant Rajput King who was admired for his chivalry and courage,
had his abode here, in Bharatpur. Once a fortified township, Bharatpur is now
an ornithologist paradise, and well known for the Bharatpur water-bird sanctuary.
The sanctuary is home to over 376 avian species. Echoing the vividness of nature's
gift to Bharatpur the relief work on this Saloon depicts various species of
birds on the tree of life. A replica of the royal crest of Bharatpur adorns
the valance of the blind. The 'nature' theme is further endorsed by the white
cedar inlay work depicting birds and painted peacocks, sitting on a haveli worked
on a mirror. The colour scheme, with its profusion of beige and aqua green,
is a vivid reminder of lush green forests of Bharatpur and Ghana.
