Laxmi Vilas Palace,Bharatpur
Set amidst the sprawling 50 acres, and surrounded by undulating, yellow mustard fields, the Laxmi Vilas Palace was built for Raja Ragunath Singh, the younger brother of the then Bharatpur ruler, Maharaja Ram Singh. An eclectic and lively fusion of Rajput and Mughal architecture, the palace was earlier called Raghunath Niwas though locals always preferred to call it Kakaji ki kothi.
Its single entrance, a massive richly carved sand stone archway intended to allow the ladies of Royal family of Bharatpur to conduct themselves away from the prying eyes of men and outsiders. Spacious and airy rooms opened out into the inner courtyard with its marble fountain, enchanting cupolas and sunny courtyard completed the pretty picture.
