Lalgarh Palace, Bikaner

---

This grand palace is an architectural masterwork in red sandstone, & 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 & European architecture. The exterior contrasts dramatically with the oriental interiors & amenities. The palace has beautiful latticework & filigree work, which are hallmarks of a great craftsmanship.

The Palace has an amazing collection of well-maintained paintings & hunting trophies. Sprawling lawns with blooming bougainvillea & dancing peacocks make a visual extravagance.

Designed by a Britisher for Maharaja Ganga Singh, this palace displays a magnificent blend of Oriental & European style. The terraced lawns & the Bougainvillea bushes add beauty to the palace. Peacocks stroll around the palace, which has been partlyconverted into a hotel.

The intricate filigree work & latticework exhibit the refinements & delicacy of craftsmanship. The palace museum displays well preserved hunting trophies & old photographs. The library of the Lalgarh palace is supposed to have the largest collection of original Sanskrit manuscripts on parchments, copper & gold or silver plaques.

Built in the memory of maharaja Lal Singh, Lalgarh Palace has a graceful facade of red sandstone, & 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 & even a world war I bi-plane.

The Lalgarh palace has now been converted into a beautiful hotel. The large & airy rooms point towards a pervasive British influence, even though the Welcome group took over it's management in 1993 & made numerous renovations.

The shri Sadul museum forms a part of the palace, & houses vast collections of books, photographs, manuscripts & albums that span several generations.
