Amar Mahal Palace, Royal palace museum on Palace Road in Jammu, India

The red sandstone palace features Continental castle architecture with sloping roofs, turrets, and towers overlooking the Tawi River valley.

Commissioned by Maharaja Amar Singh in the nineteenth century, a French architect designed this palace following the style of French chateaux.

The museum exhibits Dogra-Pahari paintings from the late 18th century, created in Jammu and Himachal Pradesh, representing the Kangra school of art.

The museum operates from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM between April and September, with shorter afternoon hours until 5:00 PM from October to March.

A 120-kilogram golden throne remains secured in a hexagonal room, visible through glass panels within the museum's restricted four-room display area.
