The place is very offbeat and hence the footfall is low. Now how that benefits a tourist is that this place is very less crowded over the weekend. It is about 3-4 hours drive from New Delhi depending on what time of the day you choose. I would prefer very early morning as the traffic is minimal at that time and you would reach just in time when this opens up for the public. This place can be divided into 3 main sections.
The first one would be the palace itself that also has the museum on the top floor. The museum has a very rare collection of paintings, artifacts, weapons and manuscripts. The entry fee is about 20 rupees for an adult and 10 rupees for kids over the age of 7. Students also have an entry fee of 10 rupees. The museum is divided into 3 sections. The first section has the sculptures, the second has paintings and the third displays swords and guns of that era. The staff there is very cordial and helpful. Photography is allowed but taking videos is prohibited. One can also take some beautiful pictures in the courtyard and of the Bala Fort and Temples in the background.
The second section covers the water reservoir that's located just behind the palace. It's based on the basis principal of harvesting rain water. One can sit there and enjoy the view of the fountains and the Aravali hills.
The third section covers the main structure after which this place is named. It's a two storey structure built in the shape of a square with the top part made in pure marble. It's reflects the perfection of the Indian architecture of those times. The intricate carving on the roof, walls and pillars is a real treat to the eyes.
There are no eating joints in the complex as it also houses the district court. So remember to carry your own food and water bottles. The place has a public washroom and decent parking space for visitors. The roads that lead to the structure are a bit narrow so please bear that in mind in case you are not an experienced driver.
I hope you will like the place as much as I did.

It is a good place but will recommend every person to visit in winters because of heat you wont be able to enjoy the beauty of the mountains just behind this beautiful place. You can see pond and also other temples from there.

Beautiful heritage place, must visit. Half portion is now converted into government offices. Remaining part need more maintenance and security as guard says its risky after sunset cause of some drunk naughty people. Don’t forget to go to Museum.
