LAL BAGH PALACE MUSEUM
Kanadia, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India
Resided by the rulers of the Holkar dynasty, the Lal Bagh Palace is class and grandeur personified. The Museum is spread on a sprawling area of 28 acres and reflects the taste of the rulers of the Holkar dynasty. An example of architectural magnificence, this Museum once contained one of the best rose gardens in the country. The construction had begun during the time of Tukoji Rao Holkar in 1886 and completed 35 years later, by his successor Tukoji Rao Holkar in 1921. Once the residence of the ruling Holkar dynasty till 1978, it is now more of a museum, that keeps some of the most exquisite artifacts of the Maratha Empire and the Holkar dynasty intact, apart from a rare coin collection, which dates back to the Mughal period.
