Lal bagh palace was build by MAHARAJA SHIVAJI RAO HOLKAR. This palace is amazing and the new amazing thing is that The ravishing decorations in the style of Versailles Palace uses Italian marble columns, grand chandeliers, Persian carpets and flying nymphs on the ceiling  gives the tourists a wonderful experience. Outside of the place is also too much beautiful. A big beautiful garden adds extra beautiful ness to the palace. The palace shows the grand ness of the Holkar dynasty. It is superb,fantastic and grand.

Beautiful palace from the Holkar Dynasty in Indore. It’s quite massive built with European style with a grand ballroom. You can take photos outside but you can’t take your mobile phones or any other camera equipment inside, photography is not allowed inside the palace. Mobiles have to be deposited outside at the entrance. Beautiful carvings on the walls and ceilings show the grandeur of the palace. The Management can do a bit more to preserve the beauty of this palace as few things are not well maintained. Definitely worth a visit when in Indore.Very nice palace built in European style. Beautiful interiors that bring happiness to your creative soul. The entry fee is 10rs for Indians, no photography allowed inside which makes for a peaceful experience. Mobile phones are deposited at the entrance and youre given a token. The garden outside is not maintained well and could use some attention from tourism department. One of the good historical attractions in Indore city

A very well annointed palace...but in shambles. Provides a short tour of the palace in two floors...Rs 10 for adults...nishulk for children...Rs 250 for foreigners. No cameras and mobiles permitted inside the palace. Either keep it in your vehicle or handover to the palace staff on a token system for lockers.Adhoc vehicle parking arrangement available at additional Rs 10.Presently some much required renovation work is on...which is very much needed ofcourse.

Except the colourful pillared entrance hall and the impressive facades of the 19th century palace, everything is normal and not grand as the owners lived a simple life without much fancy.Theres nothing much from the antique items perspective except few chandeliers in the dining hall or meeting hall and dont understand why photography is not allowed inside.

Nice place but needs maintenance though.. the lawns around are all dry and not scenic at all.. no description on the age of items displayed inside the palace..Phones arent allowed inside.. the security asked to deposit phones. Planetarium isnt functional.. 10 rupees entry ticket..Management needs to focus on the maintenance at least by increasing the entry fee.. Avg parking space..paid parking..

Visited Lal bagh Palace , Indoreowned by Holkar Maharajas.A very large Entry gate that takes you to the entrance of HolKar Dynasties Residential Palace after a half a kilometre drive.Nominal Fee will Be charged to see the Palace from inside.WOW.... Beautiful will be your words when you enter the Lal Bagh Palace.Art work on the walls is amazing.Pillars of single piece of marble in the Palace is such a beauty that in todays world this kind of structure is almost impossible.You can see the lot of furniture used by the Royal Family.Overall Its worth visiting there.

Well maintained place, upholstry though needs some repairing, even though it will mean tinkering with authentic material, but torn covers on seats are looking shabby in otherwise an elegant set up. Also the rooms which are having restricted entry need to be closed properly. With little more care and cleaning this place have a potential to become a major tourist attraction, if its not one already.

This is a wonderful palace, their is adequate space outside for visitors to sit and idel away. Good place to bring kids. Mondays are closed, this palace was renovated in 2018. The interiors of the palace are well maintained. One can see Italian marble, Persian carpets, lavish chandeliers, paintings, a grand ballroom- keeps the visitors interested. They do not allow visitors to take pictures and one has to deposit camera and phone at the lobby. Ticket would cost 25 rupees for Indian national. Its advisable to carry food.

Love this place....if you are a history freak a architecture lover do visit this palace,the amazing interiors will take you to the other world back to the days in the past,this is the true example of the past grandeur and the royalty of maharajahs in the British raj.The French interiors of this palace is never seen else where in India.....and the fact that the gateway to the palace is same like the bukhingam palace in London very less know to the people of India.The only disappointment is that you’re not allowed to carry any camera and Mobil phones in the palace premises.

This palace is nearly 175 years old and has started crumbling in few places. Its the official residence of the erstwhile Royal family of Indore.The Palace built by Maharaja Shivaji rao holkar on the bank of River Khan where might be old looking on the outside is a real beauty on the inside.♥️The rooms inside the palace have been turned into museum with Italian marble columns decorated in the versailles palace style. And the beautiful room in the whole palace is the grand ballroom where you might see the paintings on the ceiling to the wooden floor and the throne that can be seen, the beauty in the room will capture cause that room is always glimmering and in the daytime if the light is entering the room from one side you might be able to see the room lighten up by the sunlight alone.♥️Mostly everything has been displayed and opened to the public like the two different types of dining room the bathrooms, the bedrooms and there is a small art gallery too on the top floor and on the display are two Tiger skin stuffed that were killed by Maharaja Shivaji rao holkar himself.♥️It has 5 stuffed tigers and a leopard inside which were hunted by the king and they look awesome. It has a small planetarium which shows the stars, planets, sun, moon and constellations as seen from Indore.♥️Huge palace with massive gardens. This is the place for you If you enjoy history, architecture and legacies of old India. Great photo exhibition inside the palace too. Plan a visit if you can spare an hour to stroll in Indore.P.S- Camera isnt allowed inside.Parking fee Rs 10, Entry fee Rs 10

Its is my truly one of the best experience in lal bagh museum. There is a lots of knowledge about the history of indian culture.Lal Bagh Palace was built by Maharaja Shivaji Rao Holkar, during 1886 and 1921. Situated at the bank of River Khan, this three storeyed structure is used for hosting royal receptions. Originally, the construction of the palace began in 1886, under the reign of Tukoji Rao Holkar II. The final phase of construction was completed in 1921, under the rule of Tukoji Rao Holkar III.

Lal Baag Palace is one of the most spectacular buildings in Indore. It stands on the outskirts of the town, towards the southwest. It is a three storey building on the bank of the River Khan. The palace was built by Maharaja Shivaji Rao Holkar during 1886-1921. Situated amidst dry and dusty gardens, it is architecturally quite similar to the New Palace. Lal Bagh Palace once hosted many royal receptions and even today, reflects the life style and taste of the Holkar Rulers.

Lot of interesting history hidden inside.

The Lal Bagh Palace was built by Maharaja Shivaji Rao Holkar in the year 1886. The construction took 31 years to complete. The beautiful three-storey palace is situated on the outskirts of Indore on the banks of the river Khan. The palace is a manifestation of the lifestyle of the Maratha rulers. Spread over an area of 11, 3312 sq. m. the Lal Bagh Palace architecturally resembles the new palace of the Holkars. The palace also houses a coin collection which is from the Mughal period.The main gates of Lal Bagh Palace are a replica of the gates of London’s Buckingham palace; in fact, they were shipped from England. The whole complex covers a total area of 28 acres. The palace also exhibits many contemporary Indian and Italian paintings and sculptures. The ravishing decorations inspired by the Versailles Palace uses Italian marble columns, grand chandeliers, Persian carpets and flying nymphs on the ceiling. The palace has a grand ballroom which has wooden floor mounted on springs for an extra bounce. Other attractions of the palace are furnished rooms with beautiful carvings on the walls as well as the ceilings and the rose garden. The rooms of the palace have been restored, furnished and converted into a museum. Much of the furniture and ornamentation belongs to late Regency and early Georgian style.
