Raj Wada Palace

• Built in the year 1766 by the rulers of the Holkar Dynasty, the grand Rajwada Palace is one of the top places to visit in Indore. 
• This seven-storied palace, which exhibits a mix of Maratha, French, and Mughal architectural styles, is a fine example of royal splendor. 
• The entrance of the palace features a grand archway and a huge wooden gate complete with iron studs. 
• The main building comprises a courtyard, ornate balconies and windows, jharokas, elaborately carved wooden jalis, corridors, and galleried rooms.
• An interesting feature of Rajwada Palace is that its top floors are made of wood while the lower three floors are carved out of stone. 
• The palace is now a property maintained by the State Archeology Department which also runs a small souvenir shop within the building. 
• The light and sound show held here in the evenings is a major attraction for visitors.
• The palace has been damaged by fire and rebuilt not just once or twice, but three times in the last 250 years.
