    A lesser known episode is the 1944 secret meeting between the ruler and the Indian National Congress where post independence plans were drafted. The council hall that hosted it still has a carved teak roof echoing nearby stepwell designs. Guided walks usually pause there to explain how that meeting influenced later political shifts. If you’re staying at Lemon Tree Hotel Rajkot, ask the reception for a tour that includes this hall.
