Bikaner Lalgarh Palace
This grand palace is an architectural masterwork in red sandstone, and was built
by Maharaja Ganga Singh Ji in the memory of his father Maharaja Lal Singh Ji
in 1902. Sir Swinton Jacob designed this oriental fantasy. This architecture
is a fusion of Rajput, Mughal and European architecture. The exterior contrasts
dramatically with the oriental interiors and amenities. The palace has beautiful
latticework and filigree work, which are hallmarks of a great craftsmanship.
Chittourgarh Padmini
Palace
It is built beside the lotus pool with a historical pavilion that changed the
history of Chittor. Ala-ud-din saw the reflection of Queen Padmini from here
and so mesmerized was he, that the quest of possessing her led to a furious
battle which saw the last of Maharana Ratan Singh (husband of Maharani Padmini)
and the epitome of beauty - Cleopatra of Rajasthan, became an eternal legend
in the history of chittor and also of the Mewar state. The feel still lingers
on. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever- and now they don't say this for nothing.

construct a three hundred and forty seven roomed Umaid Palace.
