    The palace’s façade is a striking mix of Gujarati sandstone arches and European mansard roofs, with a central dome that echoes Mughal style but is capped with a European balustrade. Guided walks usually start near the main gate and highlight the original ballroom that once hosted royal dances. If you’re staying nearby, the Lemon Tree Hotel Rajkot is a convenient base for catching the next tour. Have you seen the frescoes in the great hall?
