That's what my wife said. She likes this kind of place, But even she said it was a waste of time and money. (500 rs admission). The quality of the interior displays was not interesting, even for someone who has an interest in history and culture.

What a place! The glorious and sycophantic, (to George V and Mary) vulgarity of this this monster of a palace is just so funny that you can't miss it. It takes itself terribly seriously which is all the more funny as it really is quite ridiculously ghastly.
High spots are the twin chandeliers in the Durbar hall - 3.5T each,...

I must say the moment you enter this place... you will feel how come this beauty is not known to everyone.

the silver train is the pride of this palace..... all in...

Nicely decorated palace that shows how the royal family lived. Best part was the dining hall, which includes a table trolley for servers to pick up food and place in front of diners.

Sorry but I won't play when the admission fee is raised from 250 to 350 and then there are camera fees & video fees on top. The Scindias squandered their fortune and I won't help refill their coffers. I spent a wonderful afternoon at the fort for 100Rs instead - money well spent!
