Darbar Gadh is a palace complex situated in the city of Bhuj, which houses the Aina Mahal. The intricate designs and inscriptions on the structure date back to the 18th and 19th century and were built by Rao Lakhpatji. This royal enclosure was divided into several sections of apartments that were inhabited by the royal family. Moreover, the site Darbar Gadh is also a name given to the old town of Bhuj that was used for public meetings held by Maharaja of Nawanagar.
