Situated 3 kms North of Bikaner City, The palace was built by Maharaja Ganga Singh in the memory of his father Maharaja Lal Singh. Made of Red stone, Lalgarh palace is designed by a British architect. The palace has some beautiful gardens. This architecture is a fusion of Rajput, Mughal and European architecture. The exterior contrasts dramatically with the oriental interiors and amenities. The palace has beautiful latticework and filigree work, which are hallmarks of a great craftsmanship. The Palace has an amazing collection of well-maintained paintings and hunting trophies. Sprawling lawns with blooming bougainvillea and dancing peacocks make a visual extravagance.
The exotic palace has magnificent pillars, richly carved fire mantles, Italian colonnades and motif of lotus in full bloom, adding to the magic of this jewel of the desert. The palace has its own museum and library (the fourth largest in the world). The museum covers the entire first floor of the palace. Bikaner royal family still lives in part of the palace. A portion of palace is now a hotel.
