Lalgarh Palace is located outside the Bikaner city limits. It is at a distance of 3 kms from the city. This palace was built between 1902 and 1926 by Maharaja Ganaga Singh in the memory of his father, Maharaja Lal Singh.
The architecture of the palace is Indo-Saracenic where one can see elements of Rajput, Muslim and European styles.
Now, this palace has been converted into a heritage hotel. But, the first floor of the palace is converted into a museum, the Shri Sadul museum. The museum has on display are artifacts and personal possessions of the Bikaner Maharajas.

lovely palace. i hope to visit it someday.
It makes a beautiful hotel and how interesting to have the museum there to enjoy during a stay! Great post and photos as always, Rajesh! Enjoy your week!

Quite an elegant palace - very ornate.
What a great place. It's not often you find a structure that's as museum and hotel at the same time.

What a beautiful blend of architectural styles. And how nice that it is now a hotel and museum. I imagine it's lovely on the inside as well.
what a spectacular memorial.
Love the buildings.

Such a beautiful palace! Wow, and now it has turned to be a hotel - and a museum.. It must be exciting to stay there for a couple of days.. :)

india seems full of heritage structures such as these.
I must win the lottery for sure, Rajesh, since the loss of my job of 21 years in San Francisco's budget cuts means I can't stay in such an extraordinary place as I once could on my nursing salary. It is so beautiful and I would so love to be queen for a day...or a week!
Rajesh -- that is quite an amazing memorial! It would be amazing to stay in one of those hotel rooms. I would probably have to settle for going through the museum -- that too, I'm sure, would be a great experience.
By the way, when I thought of your 'incredible facts' sidebar when I did my (modified, old-lady style) Yoga this morning.
I think would be fantastic to stay in this beautiful hotel and to explore the museum. It certainly is a wonderful building.
A gorgeous building in all respects. Great architecture too.
Hi Rajesh
I love the architecture.
When the British went to Malaysia, they brought this style of architecture. Have a look at this builidng (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2377/2194821564_bddcb308a8.jpg?v=0) - similar style...
A beautiful palace
Impressive building. Great photos as always. Thank you for sharing.
I was going to say he must have had a very large family to need such a very large place! :-)
Glad to see that the palace has been put to good use. I would love to take a tour and see those artifacts, etc., that you mentioned.
lovely palace, beautiful architecture.
Magnificently elegant! Looks like a great place to stay ... if you can afford it! :)
