Recreation

Discover the magnificent Palace.
A long drive flanking the vast lawns with rows of trees, fairly big pools and red sandstone quarters take you to the main building. The great Portico extends a respectful and dignified welcome to the visitor.

The sculptural art on the pillars supporting this amazing high- ceilinged Portico, along with the decorative carving, evokes the senses. The wide retina of stately staircase lead you up to the reception which extends a warmth of hospitality to the visitor. It is the pilot to the extensive hallways and the vast 'chowk' or inner-courtyard, hallowed by the memories of festive occasions and gracious functions of the past.
