Hotel Lallgarh
Palace
|
The Lallgarh Place defies the bleak and rugged reality of the
harsh Thar Desert around Bikaner.
The renowned architect, Sir Swinton Jacob, was commissioned for
the proposed residence of the young ruler, Maharaja Ganga Singh.
Initially, the palace was proposed to be finished within a lakh
of rupees and further reductions in cost were suggested to be
made by substituting stucco for carved stone.
But the moment Maharaja Ganga Singh got personally involved in
the building exercise, all cost cutting was banished. The Palace
began in 1896 and by the time the first quadrant, Lakshmi Niwas
was completed in 1902, cost had already zoomed to ten lakh
rupees. The idea of using cheap stucco was replaced with the
finest and most intricate stone carving of all the modern
palaces in India. The princely abode welcomed Lord Curzon as
its first important guest. Maharaja Ganga Singh named his new
residence in honour of his father, Maharaja Lall Singh.Lallgarh
Palace was the most completely integrated example of Indo-Saracenic
architecture, and as some hold, the most perfectly realised of
Sir Samuel Jacob's creations. The sheer poetry in sandstone was
further extended for the Maharaja's son, Sadul Singh, and
grandson, Karni Singh.. |
