[4] The Jawahar Kala Kendra adapts and applies concepts from ancient architectural principles called the Vastu Vidya.

[6] The centre is an analogue of the original city plan of Jaipur, drawn up by Maharaja Jai Singh II, a scholar, mathematician, and astronomer, in the mid-17th century.

Maharaja Jai Singh had one of the squares moved due to the presence of a hill in his design of the Jaipur city plan.

Archways lead to painted domes, amphitheaters, cafés, and art galleries that all seemed spatially aligned as if enveloping the structure.

There is a mural of a palm reading at the entrance to the theatre which illustrates the association of astrology and astronomy by naming the planets on the mounds of the hand.

[8] Ancient traditions, Medieval Mughal aesthetics, and contemporary and evolving artistic sensibilities find representation in Jawahar Kala Kendra in its architecture, design, and activities.

It also serves as an open-air theatre called ‘Madhyavati.’ The astrological symbol of each planet is illustrated in a mural on the adjoining wall of each corresponding section.

Monographs on studies of various art forms such as Ghumar, Kanhaiya, and Dhrupad have been published, along with a major publication on Wall Paintings of Rajasthan, Treasures of Albert Hall Museum, Abhaneri, etc.
