The Naulakha Palace
was built in 1748AD in the Darbargarh or old fort of
the Jadeja Rajputs who ruled Gondal from the mid-1600s.
A festival of stone carvings, the building now houses
a selection from the family's collection of antiques
and princely relics, open for viewing only for those
who stay at the Orchard Palace or Riverside Palace in
Gondal. |
Built in the 1800s
as the residence of the Yuvraj (Indian equivalent of
a crown prince) of Gondal princely state, the Riverside
Palace is now a heritage hotel owned and run by his
descendants. It has huge high-ceilinged rooms with period
furniture, marvellously appointed sitting arrnagements,
and a view of the river from the rooftop. |
