Product Description
The Baradari Palace, a 19th-century architectural marvel , is a white, colonnade building, centered on a rectangular Sikh-Mughal-style, twelve door pavilion or baradari which gave its name to a splendid garden commissioned by the then ruler Maharaja Rajinder Singh. It was designed in 1876 by Kaur Sahib Ranbir Singh, the younger brother of the Maharaja. Over the years, the Baradari Palace has gathered more and more history. It housed the Shahi Mehmandari (the state guest house), the Punjabi University – and from 1972 to 2006, the Punjab State Archives. Eventually restored by Neemrana who decided to preserve the original period look through careful restoration.
What stands out is the re-use of materials: Minton clay tiles in the verandah, Burma teak flooring in the main hall, mosaic chip floors and the thick wooden batons in the roofs. The Neemrana team has also restored the gilded and carved ceiling in the dining hall.
The Portico has cane chairs typical to old colonial bungalows. Period furniture and other vestiges of the royal past collected from everywhere, as well as a large collection of royal Punjab portraits make themselves felt throughout. The glass doors bear etchings of the Maharaja’s coat of arms. And at night the 12 cusped arches of the Baradari are illuminated, and a chandelier reflected in the mirror-topped tables casts its light on shadows of the past.
A sprawling garden-palace in the heart of culturally-rich Patiala evokes an era of art and music generously patronised by the royal family along with majestic rooms fit for kings and exceptional hospitality that makes you come back for more.
