    Ideal place for those who loves ancient cultures and interested to know about the lifestyle of royal families. Govt. had taken good initiative to preserve the palace as such by maintaining the architectural structures. The museum is very much attractive. The compound is very peaceful even though it is in the center of the city. Parking is some difficult during peak hours however we can park the vehicles near the stadium. We can use footwear inside the palace.
