    A lesser known event was the 1938 royal visit from the Maharaja of Baroda, during which the palace hosted a cultural exchange program that showcased Gujarati folk music and European classical pieces. Guided tours often pause at the pavilion where the exchange took place, explaining how the event influenced later architectural additions. If you’re staying at the Lemon Tree Hotel Rajkot, the concierge can arrange a walk that covers this pavilion and the surrounding garden layout.
