Lalbagh Palace
लालबाग पैलेस
A European-style palace of the Holkar dynasty, with a Versailles-inspired gate, a ballroom, and crystal chandeliers that reflect the luxurious life of princely rulers.
Lalbagh Palace was built between 1886 and 1921. The Holkar family lived here until 1978, and it is now a museum. The main gate of the palace is modeled on the cast-iron gates of Buckingham Palace. Inside are Italian marble columns, Belgian stained glass, Persian carpets, crystal chandeliers, and a ballroom. A tunnel is said to run underground to Rajwada Palace. The palace is surrounded by gardens covering about 28 acres. It is closed on Mondays, some interior areas do not allow photography, and it is about 3 km from the old town.
