Rajwada Palace History

Situated in the western part of Madhya pradesh, Rajwada Palace is one of the most popular tourist spots inside Indore city. With a fascinating experience to offer to its visitors, this historical palace in Indore attracts a huge flock of tourists savouring its architectural magnificence. This 200 year old seven-story historic palace of the Holkars is built in a mixture of Muslim, Maratha and French styles.

Architectural magnificence:

If you observe its southern portion, you will notice the impression of Mughal architectural style where eastern part has European style. Darbar Hall, Rani Ahilya Throne and Ganesha Hall was developed in French style. The monument made up of gopura stone and wood structure, balconies and windows studded with flanked bastions, arch-shaped entrance, wooden door with iron studs provides the testimony of the past grandeur of Holkars.

Built by the founder of Holkar dynasty -Malhar Rao Holkar, in 1747 A.D, the lower three floors are made of stone and the upper floors are made of wood, which made it very vulnerable to destruction by fire. According to the history, Rajwada was burnt 3 times and the fire that led in 1984 caused the most destruction and then it was converted into a garden. In 2006, the present Maharani of Indore- H.H.Usha Devi Holkar decided to rebuild the ford and bring back its past glory and prestige.

This remarkable mammoth 7 storied palace stands in the heart of the busiest part (Khajuri Bazaar) of the town. It is also close to the Chhatris.

Rajwada Palace has been caught fire three times in the last few years and still, it stands beautifully. The material which were used in the construction of the palace made it more vulnerable to fire. It is built with wood and stones where top floors are made up of wood and lower floor of stones. After the massive destruction caused by the fire in the year 1984, the palace got a renovation to bring back its lost glory. A garden with an artificial waterfalls and fountains have been constructed to make it look beautiful. 

The architecture of the palace is beautiful and is an amalgamation of the Mughal, French and Maratha style of architecture. The entry door of the palace is built of wood and it leads to a huge courtyard. Surrounding the courtyard are galleries and Ganesha Hall where all the relevant and important meetings used to take place.  

Though the palace has been destroyed quite a few time, still it has retained its magical charm that attracts tourists to take a sightseeing visit to this place. The highlight point of this Rajwada Palace is that if looked from the southern side, it looks like some Mughal monument and if looked from the eastern side, it resembles a European monument. And the parts of the palace that have been constructed in the French style are Darbal Hall and Rani Ahilya. The Rajwada Palace looks even more pretty during the evening time when the light and sound show takes place here. There is also a Sarafa Market here which is a famous destination for jewelry shopping in Indore. Also, this place is famous for its night street food court where one can kill the hunger pangs by having some of the best dishes of Indore.

    The travel agent was always available, always answered queries and itinerary well prepared. Hotels varied in quality from good to bad - The Ramada in Indore had blocked sink in bathroom all three days despite requests to repair, Orchha hotel had no hot water at all! Sanchi and Rewa hotels good, Gwal
    ior medium. Driver should be more helpful - eg I am 70 and wife 75, everytime he wants us to walk to where car is parked, won't bring it to us, did not guide us in any way anywhere. Places seen were all worthy and beautiful, the local people very nice Mahakaleshwar and Maihar darshan, Gwalior fort
