Gunijankhana: Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singh Jaipur Museum Society
Overview
The Jaipur court has a long tradition of enjoyment, engagement and support of the arts, including the ‘intangibles’ that are music, dance, drama and literature. The Gunijankhana was a karkhana or department dedicated to these, founded as early as the 16th century during the rule of Maharaja Ram Singh I. It flourished for four hundred years, until Indian independence in 1947, when the various departments of Jaipur State were dissolved or reorganized based on the needs of the time. Today, under the leadership of Princess Diya Kumari, we have rekindled a tradition and re-established the Gunijankhana in a modern avatar. Our vision is to transform cultural performances into life experiences, beyond the stage.
Mission
Gunijankhana aims to provide opportunities for cultural, educational, and economic engagement by showcasing national and international performing artists, thus enhancing and expanding the socio-cultural fabric of the region. By providing immersive experiences through live performance and learning opportunities, we seek to inspire modern audiences with an appreciation of culture.
Interactions and Events
Our wide-ranging areas of engagement embrace varied aspects of culture, reflecti

Beohar Rammanohar Sinha
Indian painter (1929–2007)
Beohar Rammanohar Sinha (15 June 1929 – 25 October 2007) was an Indian artist who is very well known for his illustrations in the original final manuscript of Constitution of India, including the complete Preamble-page, which was brought to fruition in 1949 as one of the most beautiful Constitutions in the world[peacock prose][1][2] in addition to being the most comprehensive one. He is also known as a cultural ambassador of India who disseminated Indian art in the Far East, and brought Oriental Art to India.[3] His works are housed in numerous prestigious public and private collections throughout the world[4] and his murals still adorn the walls and gigantic dome of Jabalpur's historic Shaheed-Smarak or Martyrs'-Memorial Auditorium even after more than half a century, though now demanding conservation.
Rammanohar always signed his artworks in the cursive Devanagari-script, either in short Ram or in full Rammanohar, but rarely scribed his surname. Most of his later paintings bear a unique red seal with his surname Sinha, primarily in Devanagari-script but also sometimes in the Pinyin-script, in addition to his said signatures in ink.[5]
