Mahal Khas Palace

"If Rajasthan is the Jewel in the Crown of India, the Bharatpur of this state is its Hidden Jewel" 

Once the seat of power of the Rajasthani Jats, Bharatpur was once surrounded by an 11-Km long wall (now demolished) which acted as the first line of defence. The Jats maintained a high degree of autonomy, because of their prowess in battle. You can very well feel their velour after a visit to Lohagarh or the Iron Fort, which dominates the skyline of this beautiful town. Displaying a flamboyant amalgamation of Mughal and Rajpur architecture, the most famous attraction of Bharatpur is this colossal fort look its name from its supposedly impregnable defenses. Enter through the "Ashtadhatu Gate" and you will be amazed to see the spikes perching high on the apex, said to be made of eight different metals! You might have heard the 'action speaks louder then words", the Jats, they whole-heartedly believed in this hypothesis. As a fruit of their pride, today you can see two exquisite towers (Jawahar Burj and Fetah Burj) embellishing the ramparts of this grand monument. 

Mahalkhas Palace was built in 1862 by Maharaja Balwant Singh who was a successor to great Jat ruler Maharaja Suraj Mal. The place is s fine blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture, situated in the middle of impregnable Lohagarh Fort. It has a huge courtyard, beautiful wall golden paintings, Patterned tiled floors and marvelous carvings on sand stone. All chambers are en suit with ornate pierced stone windows(Jharokas).
