Old Moti Bagh Palace
The Old Moti Bagh Palace is a palace in Patiala, India, displaying a blend of Rajput, Mughal, and European styles. The architecture of the structure and its grounds shows how rulers wanted to present their power and taste.
The palace was built in the early 18th century by Maharaja Narinder Singh. Subsequent rulers of Patiala improved and expanded it over time.
The name Moti Bagh means 'Pearl Garden', reflecting how the rulers valued this place. The gardens with their trees and flowers shape the grounds today and invite visitors to walk through them.
The palace has various areas to explore, including a section with mirror work and an art gallery with paintings and sculptures. A small suspension bridge over a lake and a museum with royal objects are also available to visit.
Part of the palace contains a famous hall with elaborate mirror work, where small mirrors reflect light in special ways. This craftsmanship shows the artistic skill and care that went into creating these spaces.
