With treaties like Jaipur and Mewar, British influence was increased over Rajputana, but its basic administration and economy remained in the hands of local rulers and their feudal chiefs. The local economies had suffered during the 18th century and famine and drought years also increased people’s misery but these feudal chiefs remained unaffected by people’s concerns. The economic and political unrest led to several tribal movements in Rajasthan. The second gallery speaks volumes about the notable tribal movements in the erstwhile kingdoms through intricate graphic panels and high-relief murals. Besides, a projection mapping will reanimate the events in Rajasthan during the first war of Indian Independence in 1857.
