Lal Bagh Palace
Lal Bagh Palace was the residence of the Holkar rulers of Indore, built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in a European style with grand halls, imported chandeliers, and ornate gates modeled on London's Buckingham Palace gates. It reflects the Holkar dynasty's considerable wealth and taste for Western architectural styles during the colonial period.
The interior includes a mix of European and Indian decorative elements, and the palace grounds add to the sense of scale. It's a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in India's princely state history and the particular blend of European aesthetics adopted by several ruling families of the era.
