Aina Mahal Palace Of Mirrors Travel Map

Aina Mahal is one of the ancient palaces constructed during the 18th century in the city of Bhuj. This palace was built by Maharao Lakhpatji, which in recent time has turned into a museum. His passion for art, literature, architecture and music led to the creation of this architectural building. Ramsinh Malam, a craftsman, converted the royal dream into a reality in the form of this palace. It serves as a chief tourist attraction because of its design and layout. The palace is a two-storey building which comprises pleasure pool, darbar hall and suites that belong to the members of royal family. The palace has a hall which is full of mirrors and thus, it is called Aina Mahal. Ramsinh was well versed with the European style of architecture, which the palace exhibits. Due to his long stay of 17 years in Europe, he learnt the local art and style. The walls of the palace are covered with gilded ornaments, white marbles and mirrors. Apart from this, the floor of the hall has tiles with a podium over it, which is surrounded by several fountains. A chandelier made of Venetian glass in the hall is the prime attraction of the palace.
