Introduction

Located in the north-eastern part of the city is Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s summer palace. Set amidst a beautiful garden, it resembles the pattern of Shalimar Bagh in Lahore. One of the main attractions here is the ‘Darshani Deorhi’, the main entrance. It is an architectural marvel. The Palace also has an inbuilt cooling system. One that reflects the architectural excellence of the time!

A section of the palace has been converted into a museum. Oil paintings, miniatures, coins, weapons and a replica of Kohinoor diamond are the principal exhibits here.
