Rajwada is the historical palace of the Holkars, built two centuries ago and located near the main square. This seven-storied structure showcases a blend of Maratha, Mughal, and French architecture and has served as a center for trading activities and cultural events. Although it has suffered significant damage from fires, particularly in 1984, the palace remains an important historical and cultural landmark.

1. Rajwada

2. Rajwada is the historical palace of the Holkars. It was built
about two centuries ago and is located near the Chhatris in the
main square. It is a seven storied structure, which serves as the
living example of the grandeur of the Holkars. Rajwada stands
in the centre of the city. The new palace is on the northern
side, while the old palace stands in the old part of the town.

3. The old palace is a multi-storied building which also
serves as a gateway of the Rajwada. It stands amongst
the crowded streets of the Kajuri Bazar and faces the
main square of the city.

4. The palace was once the centre of all the
trading activities in the city. It is a blend
of Maratha, Mughal and French style of
architecture. The entrance of the palace
has a lofty archway with a giant wooden
door which is covered with iron studs.
The gopura-like monument is made up of
wood and stone

5. It has a number of balconies windows and corridors.
The entrance leads to a huge courtyard, which is
surrounded by galleried rooms and the arcaded
Ganesha hall, which was once the venue of all state
and religious functions. This hall is now used for art
exhibitions and classical music concerts.

6. Rajwada has been burnt three times in history. The last fire broke out in 1984 and
caused the maximum destruction. The lower three floors are made up of stone,
while the top floors are made of wood. This made it very vulnerable to destruction
by fire. Now, only the front part of the original structure remains
