The elaborate corridor behind the entrance court and the Hadi Rani Mahal, with the view of the palace ground. Before the restoration, this beautiful veranda corridor was sealed off and made into singular offices by the government department, the Border security force, till the 1970s. #Heritage #Historic #Corridor #Arches #ArchesForDays #ViewsForDays #Columns #IndiaAesthetic #Architecture #Nagaur #NagaurDiaries #NagaurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at Nagaur Fort) https://www.instagram.com/p/BkUNEPYl4hL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bs6fof6ez37e

One of my favourite walls in Nagaur has to be this incredibly detailed and ornate fresco running all the way from the ceiling to the ground, divided into four rows and multiple columns all individually painted with various motifs. #Spectacular #Splendid #Arts #Aesthetic #Patronage #Heritage #Historic #Craftsmanship #IndianAesthetic #Walls #Veranda #AbhaMahal #GardenPalace #NagaurFort #NagaurJournal #NagaurDiaries #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at Nagaur Fort, Rajasthan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BknLemFFX8o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2qyolwkq55np

During the 18th century, Bakhat Singh, the ruling maharaja of the time, sought to create a refuge from the external troubles of warfare and politics. The result was a pleasure palace which, still today, awakens the senses through its art and aesthetics - from the sound of fountains and peacocks to the sight of vivid fresco paintings and perfectly constructed geometric gardens. Each of the ten refurbished havelis has been named after one of the ranis and has two or three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a private courtyard. The suites on the first floor open on to a private terrace. #Heritage #Historic #Hotels #Charming #Hospitality #Beauty #IndianAesthetic #Splendid #Interior #Restoration #Conservation #Palaces #PleasurePalace #AhhichatragarhFort #NagaurFort #Fortress #Ranvas #Nagaur #NagaurDiaries #NagaurJournal #Rajasthan #India #IncredibleIndia #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at Ranvas)

The two storey of the palace with an inserted mezzanine floor make Bakht Singh Palace one of the tallest building in the precinct. It offers panoramic view of the Palace, the fortwall and the city from its terrace. Bakht Singh Has undisputed power between 1725 and 1751 and he built several buildings, in some cases by demolishing the older ones. The central four columns are square without any capital, pedestal or decoration and there is no obvious reason for this particularity. Wall paintings with floral pattern is covered with whitewash. The whitewash has not been completely remove yet. A comparison of the original structure and painter’s depiction of it.

If the so-called Hadi Rani Mahal serves as Bakhat Singh Main personal residence, the block that stands at the right angle to it, on the western side of the same court, and which is still actually known as Bakhat Singh Mahal, was his main official apartment. #Heritage #Historic #Structures #AncientStructures #Niches #Hall #Palaces #PalacesOfRajasthan #PalacesOfIndia #BakhatSinghPalace #OfficialApartment #KingsResidence #Nagaur #NagaurDiaries #NagaurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at Nagaur Fort)
