The design of Jawahar Kala Kendra is an expression of the parallel attitudes of two political leaders - Jai Singh II , who built the city of Jaipur and Jawaharlal Nehru , the first Prime Minister of India. The Jawahar Kala Kendra is a contemporary reading of the notion of the cosmos. It employs the concept of Navagrahas, 9 planets fundamental to Hindu astrology and invokes the original plan of Jaipur by displacing one of the squares.
