Explanation:

Umed Singh’s successor Bishen Singh (1771–1821) ruled Bundi for 48 years and was a connoisseur of art. He had a keen interest in hunting, and him hunting wild animals frequently figures in the paintings of his period. Under his successor Ram Singh (1821–1889), the chitrashalain of the Bundi palace was decorated with mural paintings of royal processions, hunting scenes and episodes of Krishna’s story. Last stages of painting at Bundi are best exemplified by several wall paintings in the palace.
