This building
known as Raj Vilas Palace was built in the year 1866 and
originally used to house the Resident and Agent to the Governor
General of India. During the reign of Maharaja Ganga Singhji of
Bikaner the Resident was withdrawn and this building was used as
a State House to house/accommodate visiting Heads of States.
This building was last used for the stay of the wedding party of
Maharana Bhagwat Singhji of Udaipur and later on for the wedding
party of Maharawal Mahipal Singhji, son of Late Maharawal
Lakshman Singhji of Dungarpur, the then Prince . Coincidentally,
Maharawal Mahipal Singhji is the elder brother of Prince Raj
Singhji of Dungarpur, a well known cricketer in India and abroad
- and brother in law of HLH Maharaja Dr. Karni Singhji of
Bikaner who was a Parliamentarian for 25 years and a sportsman
of international repute.
