JAGATJIT PALACE
Beautiful palace resembling the Château de Versailles and combining French and Indian styles, home to today's Sainik School
The magnificent palace of Jagatjit looks strangely like the Palace of Versailles. In fact, Jagatit Singh, the last maharaja of Kaputhala, had the palace built by a French architect who was largely inspired by the plans of Versailles and Rambouillet. It is a true fusion of French style, with notably its paintings on the ceilings, and Indian style, like the Durbar Hall which hosted some official ceremonies. The building now houses the Sainik School which trains students for the National Defense Academy.
