as museum and other part as royal residence. The sculpted lawns with
sandstone pavements and bouquets of bougainvillea bushes are a
soothing sight in this palace. This magnificent palace has a unique
feature. The unique feature is that some of the old retainers of the
royal household are still there to serve the needs of present day
guests with the gracious hospitality. In winter, theme dinners are
often organized in the Dal Badal, a 100 year old intricately designed
hunting tent, which is set up in the palace. There is a choice of 94
