The palace of mirrors, built around 1750 for Rao Lakhpatji of Kutch. His master craftsman Ram Singh Malam had trained abroad and came back to build in the local idiom but finish it in glass, mirror and tile — the Hall of Mirrors, the Pleasure Hall and the state apartments on the first floor, the durbar and marriage halls above. It is a museum now, and the oddest thing in it is the Europeanerie collection Lakhpatji accumulated: clocks, wares, mechanical toys and European paintings, all shipped into a desert court. It stands beside Prag Mahal in the Darbargadh.
