This beautiful edifice of a past legacy encompasses six halls, with parallel verandas. The palace had witnessed one of the fierce battles of the freedom struggle in which 50 body guards of Rani were killed by the English Army. Apart from the Museum, Durbar Hall in the second floor is the only spot worthy for a watch. The ruthless British army demolished all other magnificient builds.
