Letterpress description reads: 'The accompanying picture presents an exterior view of the Gujari Mahal palace built by Raja Mansingh (15th century) for his favourite Queen Mriganayana who was a Gujari by caste. The Mahal is a two storeyed building of cut stone work 232 feet x 196 feet. Its plain and massive exterior is relieved by domed turrets, a line of gracefully carved brackets supporting the eaves and a few horizontal bands of carved moulding once inlaid with enamelled tiles.
