What a wonderful „small“ city, topped from the palace which remembered me of the Potala in Lhasa (Tibet). Unfortunately the noble family has not enough money to maintain this imposant building. A part of the palace belongs in the meantime to the (city-?)government and they try their best. I was bewitched from the whole city and the palace.

This Palace has massive potential for upgrading but is currently used by monkeys as a home at night. There are 2 sections: Firstly the Kings living quarters which are pretty sparse with interesting murals in the bedroom area. The 2nd area where the ladies lived has beautiful murals and a really well kept gardens. One has great views of Bund... More

So many visitors go to the Palace without knowing the history or what to look at..they miss so much. Please go with a guide, and we have found that all the guides are good. If you want first hand knowledge and be shown the treasures then choose Mr. Keshav Bhati mobile 9194143-94241.. He has a vast knowledge and has shown... More

Hung on the side of the hill, the palace stages massively compact inside its surrounding wall. We can admire mural paintings of the 18th century, masterpieces of the school of Bundi. Of pure architecture rajpoute, this palace favors ornamentations such as the flowers of lotus, the friezes of elephants, consoles, and kiosks finely chiselled. A little invaded by the vegetation...

Still considered as path of off the beaten track, non touristy place where still you can see pure India. The Bundi Palace is situated on the hillside to the Taragarh Fort and is notable for its lavish traditional murals and frescoes. The Chitrashala (picture gallery) of the palace is open to the general public.

Bundi Palace is good to visit in daytime and also to sit and watch the illuminated palace at night from certain spots from the city especially the 'Roof Top Catering Facility of Hadi Rani Guest House' in Sadar Bazar. The Palace is famous for the 'Bundi Art' and its architectural designs. It is also the seat of the 'Hada Rajputs'... More
