Oriental fantasy and European comforts are
blended together most tastefully in the Lalgarh Palace of Bikaner.
Maharaja Ganga Singh built Lalgarh Palace. There are terraced lawns that
have been artistically planned and are in forever bloom with
Bougainvillea bushes and peacocks that charm almost everybody who
witness it. The palace has now been turned partly into a heritage hotel,
while the other part still serves as the royal residence. The elaborate
filigree work and intricate latticework are glorious achievements of the
craftsmanship. The museum of the palace boasts of some well preserved
hunting trophies, royal portraits and old photographs. The palace also
houses a library, which is said to be the largest collection of original
and rare Sanskrit manuscripts on parchments, copper and gold or silver
plaques.
