Ranjit Vilas Palace

The Ranjit Vilas Palace, built in 1907, has a large collection of game trophies which are displayed in the main drawing and dining rooms. Here it is worth seeing the Maharani's collection of vintage cars and native pure bred horses.

However it is the interiors of the palace that will make your jaw drop. The main salon, billiards room and dining hall are open to visitors and nearly every inch of their walls is covered in hunting trophies - from Indian lionesses to Kenyan rhinos and Alaskan bears.

Then there is also an ornate silver plated throne, native pure bred horses that roam the unkempt gardens, and a modest classic car collection.
