Chorwad Palace (Daria Mahal)
દરિયા મહેલ
A seaside summer palace built by the Nawab of Junagadh, standing on rocky cliffs above the coast, with Chorwad Beach nearby.
Chorwad Palace, also called Daria Mahal or Palace of the Sea, was built around 1928 by the last Nawab of Junagadh as a summer residence. It stands on rocky shores facing the Arabian Sea, blending European and Indo-Islamic architectural styles. It was once converted into a hotel but is mostly unused now, so the focus is on its exterior and the surrounding coast. It is about 25 kilometers from Somnath, roughly 40 minutes by coastal road, and can be paired with Chorwad Beach for a half-day trip. Coordinates are estimated from the coast of Chorwad town.
