    One notable event was the 1925 coronation banquet for the ruler’s son, which drew dignitaries from all princely states and was documented in the palace archives. Architecturally, the palace features a distinctive double storey verandah with carved teak railings that echo the Gujarati courtyard style, while the central pavilion’s clock tower was imported from England in the 1930s. If you’re staying at Lemon Tree Hotel Rajkot, the staff can arrange a guided walk that covers both the banquet hall and the clock tower.
