    The palace’s 1941 annex was used as a temporary meeting place for the Indian National Congress delegation visiting Gujarat. Guided walks often pause there to explain how the room’s high teak ceilings and carved lintels reflect both Gujarati motifs and European influences. If you’re near Rajkot, the Lemon Tree Hotel Rajkot is a convenient base to ask for a tour that covers this annex.
