Laxmi Vilas Palace: The largest private dwelling built till date.

You have definitely seen Laxmi Vilas Palace palace in multiple movies there is no doubt why movie makers are fond of Laxmi Vilas Palace with its spellbinding Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture.

A part of palace is open for public to take a glance at majestic palace. Laxmi Vilas Palace is the largest private dwelling built till date and four times the size of Buckingham Palace. The photography is not allowed inside the palace but you can take photographs outside the palace.

This is the first place in india where I took audio tour. Here a audio guide provides a recorded spoken commentary on a handheld device and you just need to follow it. Darbar hall with its lofty and bewitching appearance will take to another world.,other rooms display old weapons, art work, and paintings made by Raja Ravi Varma.
