JUBBAL PALACE ▶ Pride of Upper Shimla Area! When we use the phrase “har ghar kuchh kehta hai”, a novel concept adopted by the #Himachal 🌄 #government in promoting heritage properties of #Shimla 🏡 town, we often associate them with the #Britisher’s rule, rich in #history with facts, photographs and antiques dating back to that period. ➡how Jubbal earned its name????➡“one day a person was seen digging and planting seeds, and second day a joob(evergreen grass) came up, ordhub, used on #auspicious occasions, and he called it as a good omen saying that there would be everlasting greenery and prosperity, and the Raja(King), who was then staying in Raika, near Hatkoti, should build his Palace here. Hence, this place earned its name as Jubbal” Followers of history and architecture will #love to visit the #beautiful #Jubbal Palace. amidst rolling #hills that are covered with dense #forests 🌲🌲 of pine and #cedar. Located favourably on Raj Bhawan Road, this #heritage site is just 5.8 km away from the heart of the city and is easily accessible. The presence of terraced #gardens 🌹🌸🌸🍁🍃 and deliberately trimmed Virginia vines within the complex greatly accentuates the exquisitenes of the palace. Raja Rana Sir Bhagat Chandra demolished the original #Victorian structure in 1938. Later, on the same site a summer #palace was built in a unique blend of #Indian and #Chinese architecture styles. The exteriors flaunt exquisite features like an elaborate citadel and walls with convoluted #artistry. In the #interiors, visitors will find intricately carved structures of timber, suspended attics and signed photographs and #paintings of eminent people. ❄ #ShimlaLife #historical #shimla_travelogue #himachal #india #jubble #rohru #royality #travel #pic #simla #shimla #royallife #history #himachaltourism #ttot #traveltuesday
