Built in the 18th century, this place is often listed on the group tours for
tourists coming from different parts of the world to visit Gujarat.
Located on the outskirts of the ethnic town of Bhuj,
Prag Mahal is one of the architectural wonders in India. The grand palace
boasts of Gothic-style windows and Corinthian pillars around it. The opulent
Mahal has the second tallest clock tower in the country which offers an amazing
view from the top. A part of the palace has been converted into a museum with
archives and personal items of the royal family on display.
Imposing and beautiful in itself, the resplendent
palace is made mostly out of red sandstone. There are intricate carvings done
on the walls with beautiful art, and the most amazing thing is the jaali work
on the jharokhas, those are exquisite in appearance. Prag Mahal has also
been very famous in Bollywood and has been a part of several Bollywood
blockbusters including Lagaan, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, and numerous Gujarati
films as well.
