This legendary monument remains the greatest symbol to love that the world has ever seen and it has no rival.

Spend time exploring the grounds at leisure and we may even be able to join a tour of the palace led by the Princess herself. We also visit the Karauli City Palace, which the family are lovingly restoring and there is the opportunity for you to attend the evening Aarti (prayer) if you wish.
