Description:
|
|
The palace is the residence of Baroda State's Maratha royal family, the Gaekwads (ruled 1721-1947). Although no longer ruling the state (which was subsumed by India), the royal family still occupies the palace. The palace was built for Maharaja Sayaji Rao III (reigned 1875-1936). Designed by Charles Mant (died 1881) in the Indo-Saracenic style and completed by Robert Fellowes Chisholm. The 150 m-long building comprises three distinct parts: the public rooms, primarily in Mughal style; the prince’s private apartments, which emulate Rajput architecture; and the women’s quarters, executed in the Gujarati regional style. The interior is almost completely Western in layout and furnishings, with billiard and dining rooms, elevators and a vast durbar hall decorated with a Venetian floor mosaic.
