An enchanting abode that floats above water

Welcome to Neermahal, a magnificent testament to architectural brilliance and cultural diversity in Rudijala that beckons travellers from far and wide!

Built in 1930 by Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Debbarma of the Manikya Dynasty, Neermahal is India's largest water palace. 

The palace was designed by Martin & Burns, the master architects behind Kolkata's iconic Victoria Memorial, who blended different architectural styles with finesse to create it. This iconic palace was constructed with marble and sandstone. With its 24 rooms, graceful stairways, balconies, towers, pavilions, and bridges, Neermahal unfolds like a captivating visual symphony that will leave you in awe of its splendour. However, what enhances the palace’s beauty even more are its beautiful, well-kept gardens and floodlights!

Whether you see it bathed in the golden light of the day or illuminated against the night sky, the palace casts a spellbinding reflection upon the waters, creating an unforgettable sight that lingers in the hearts and minds of all who behold it.

Descend to the Rudrasagar Lake

Neermahal was built as a summer palace for the Maharaja and took nine years to complete. As you venture inside, you will notice that the palace is split into two sections. The western side, known as Andar Mahal, was designed for the royal family. On the other hand, the eastern side was an open-air theatre where various cultural events were held to entertain the Maharajas and their families.

Two majestic staircases inside will lead you to a landing on the Rudrasagar Lake. Fascinatingly, this lake was declared a RAMSAR site (a wetland designated as of international importance under the Ramsar Convention) by UNESCO in 1971. The lake also hosts one of India's largest Boat Race Festivals every year, an outstanding testament to the passion and spirit of its people. You can enjoy a scenic cruise across the lake and appreciate the beauty of Neermahal from a unique perspective. Take in breathtaking views of the palace and observe local fishing activities and migratory birds during winter.
