It sprawls across 125 acres & is considered one of the most historic palaces in the world. 120 rooms were constructed in this palace according to different cultures of the world so that the guests would be given a residence like their own country. A splendid hall was built for the Darbar, where the Nawabs used to talk to their important matters. A mosque built inside the palace is a beautiful model of Islamic architecture and still exists as a masterpiece. Two elevators & a basement were also built in the three-storey palace.
