Gajner Palace
One
of the most impressive palaces constructed during the last half of the
nineteenth century,  the Lallgarh Place defies the bleak and rugged reality
of the harsh Thar Desert around Bikaner.
The renowned architect, Sir Swinton Jacob, was commissioned for the
proposed residence of the young ruler, Maharaja Ganga Singh. Initially,
the palace was proposed to be finished within a lakh of rupees and further
reductions in cost were suggested to be made by substituting stucco for
carved stone.
But the moment Maharaja Ganga Singh got personally involved in the
building exercise, all cost cutting was banished. The Palace began in 1896
and by the time the first quadrant, Lakshmi Niwas was completed in 1902,
cost had already zoomed to ten lakh rupees. The idea of using cheap stucco
was replaced with the finest and most intricate stone carving of all the
modern palaces in India. The princely abode welcomed Lord Curzon as
its first important guest. Maharaja Ganga Singh named his new residence in
honour of his father, Maharaja Lall Singh.Lallgarh Palace was the most
completely integrated example of Indo-Saracenic architecture, and as some
hold, the most perfectly realised of Sir Samuel Jacob's creations. The
sheer poetry in sandstone was further extended for the Maharaja's son,
Sadul Singh, and grandson, Karni Singh..
