Mahal
The city palace was built in
1793 by Raja Bakhtawar Singh at the foot of a rugged hill. The palace is
the fusion of Mughal and Rajput architecture with arches, balconies,
pavilions and porticoes. Today however the palace has been converted into
District collectorate and its chambers into government offices, during its
hay days it had a lot of treasury. Along with other things it had a
drinking cup cut out of single emerald and also had a double storeyed
mammoth chariot to be pulled by four elephants.
