A glimpse of Punjab's royal heritage
Patiala, located in the northern Indian state of Punjab, stands as a proud testament to its rich cultural and historical legacy. Famed for its royal past, this city exudes grandeur and charm. Patiala was once the capital of a princely state called Patiala and was once ruled by Maharajas from the Phulkian dynasty, who oversaw palaces, ornate temples, and vibrant bazaars that bear testament to Patiala's glory days.
Architectural marvel of palaces and forts
Patiala's architectural masterpieces attest to its rich royal past. One such marvel is the Qila Mubarak Complex, a sprawling fort and palace that blends Mughal and Rajput architecture exquisitely; particularly notable is the Sheesh Mahal, or Palace of Mirrors, within this complex. Additionally, Moti Bagh Palace, now a museum, offers visitors an exquisite display of artefacts including one of the world's largest necklaces, the Patiala Necklace!
