On the occasion of International Museum Day, the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum proudly announces the much-anticipated reopening of the Sabha Niwas, the historic Hall of Public Audience at the City Palace, Jaipur. Following a meticulous and extensive restoration process that began in July 2024, this iconic space—once a central venue for royal darbars, ceremonies, and political gatherings—has been revived to its full grandeur.

The museum reopens the Sabha Niwas as an immersive gallery experience designed to transport visitors into the fascinating world of Jaipur's royal history. The restoration process unearthed significant architectural details, including open arches, intricately carved marble columns, and vibrantly painted ceilings with gold embellishments. These restored features offer a glimpse into the craftsmanship and artistic mastery that define Jaipur's regal heritage.

Historically, the Sabha Niwas served as the heart of Jaipur's political and cultural landscape. It was the venue where Maharajas held their darbars, welcomed visiting dignitaries, and made critical state decisions. Today, the space is not just a museum hall but a living, evolving symbol of Jaipur's royal legacy, seamlessly blending traditional architecture with modern technology. It offers a window into the rituals, proceedings, and symbolism of the royal court, with storytelling enhanced by integrated technology that brings history to life.
