 The Information Board at Chatrashala, Bundi, Rajasthan
The board outside the Chitrashala tells us that the place was also know as Ummed Mahal. The time span of these paintings is 1773 to 1821 under the patronage of Ummed Singh and Bisen Singh. It is located in the same complex as the main palace.  A Lady of the Royal Court? Paintings at Chitrashala, Bundi, Rajasthan
The place is currently maintained by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI). And while it is better maintained than the paintings in the main palace, Brat 2 remarked, "We cannot be sure at all that this will survive for long and others would be able to view it."

I was chatting with an ASI guard and asked him, "Isko fir se paint karne ka plan hai kya? (will these get painted again?) And he replied, "Abhi tou Nahin" (not immediately). This question was prompted by the repainting I has seen at Jaipur. Decorated Walls of the Chitrashala at Bundi, Rajasthan
