    Another key event was the 1944 secret meeting between the local ruler and the Indian National Congress, where plans for post independence governance were drafted. The palace’s former council hall, still intact, features a carved teak roof that mirrors the nearby stepwell design. If you’re staying at the Lemon Tree Hotel Rajkot, ask the reception for a guided walk that covers this hall and its historical context.
