LALGARH PALACE, BIKANER
|
|
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.
The Palace has an amazing collection of
well-maintained paintings and hunting trophies.
Sprawling lawns with blooming bougainvillea and
dancing peacocks make a visual extravagance.
Designed by a Britisher for Maharaja Ganga Singh, this
palace displays a magnificent blend of Oriental and
European style. The terraced lawns and the
Bougainvillea bushes add beauty to the palace.
Peacocks stroll around the palace, which has been
partly converted into a hotel.
The intricate filigree work and latticework exhibit
the refinements and delicacy of craftsmanship. The
palace museum displays well preserved hunting trophies
and old photographs. The library of the Lalgarh palace
is supposed to have the largest collection of original
Sanskrit manuscripts on parchments, copper and gold or
silver plaques.
Built in the memory of maharaja Lal Singh, Lalgarh
Palace has a graceful facade of red sandstone, and is
one of Maharaja Ganga Singh’s great achievements. The
maharaja ruled for a period of 56 years. The state
especially prospered under his rule.
In the fort museum which is housed in the red
sandstone Ganga Niwas, built during the reign of
Maharaja Sir Ganga Singh, here can be seen a unique
collection of miniature paintings, manuscripts,
weaponry and even a world war I bi-plane.
The Lalgarh palace has now been converted into a
beautiful hotel. The large and airy rooms point
towards a pervasive British influence, even though the
Welcome group took over it's management in 1993 and
made numerous renovations.
The shri Sadul museum forms a part of the palace, and
houses vast collections of books, photographs,
manuscripts and albums that span several generations.
