GOPAL BHAWAN PALACE

The elegant pink sandstone palace with Bengali roofed pavilions overlooks a small lake and a vast Mughal style garden where 500 fountains (out of order) and basins overlook the darbar, still richly decorated with paintings, hunting trophies and antique furniture. Other buildings, closed or under construction, border the garden. Adorned with white marble pavilions, they evoke the glorious hours of this small capital. Note that the private rooms, well preserved, still contain the furniture of the maharajahs, including a huge bed that measures more than 8 m²!
