The footsteps of time
Originally constructed as a hunting resort during the British Raj, Gajner Palace has witnessed the footsteps of dignitaries and royalty. The Prince of Wales, Governor General Lord Elgin, Lord Erwin, and even Lord Mountbatten graced its halls. The Imperial Sand Grouse shooting events held here during Christmas became the most coveted invitations on the Indian social calendar. In 1922, the palace was connected to the Bikaner Palace by rail, adding to its allure.
A tapestry of wonder
Gajner Palace is a harmonious blend of Rajasthani, Jain, Mughal, and European architectural elements. The reddish stone domes, intricate Jharokhas (overhanging balconies), Chhatris (elevated pavilions), and Jaalis (latticed screens) create an enchanting visual tapestry. The craftsmanship displayed in carved pillars, wooden furniture, and antique paintings is a testament to the artisans’ skill.
