    The palace’s east façade hides a hidden staircase that was used during the 1932 treaty signing; the steps are carved with Gujarati lotus motifs while the balustrade is of wrought iron imported from London. Guided tours often pause here to explain how the staircase facilitated discreet negotiations between the ruler and the British Resident. If you’re near Rajkot, the Lemon Tree Hotel Rajkot is a convenient base to request that walk.
