I would have loved to visit this palace before the damage wreaked by the 2001 earthquake but it was still possible to see its former glory. The interior is intriguing for its European influences.

The mirror palace was nice, but not nearly as nice as the quiet streets laden with wonderful shops on the way there. All kinds of local shops as well as a few places selling textiles, antiques, food, etc in very clean, friendly, quiet street. Quite unusual!! A very nice place to walk.

It must have been wonderful once, but the upkeep is not good enough. Still it must be visited when you visit Bhuj. The bazaar around the palace is great. One must try to shop around for Bandhani (Bandhej) cloth material. Also, one must try to sample the local delicacies at the Khavda shop.
