This palace was build by Agakhan to support the poor people who were starving in the draught in 17th century. Mahatma Gandhi, Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai were imprisoned in thi palace by Britishers. Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai died here in imprisonment. Their Samadhi are nearby the palace in the same compound. Ash of Mahtma Gandhiji is also buried near Samadhi of kastirba.
