???? Review of juna Mahal, dungarpur (rajasthan)

Juna Mahal (Old Palace) is a 13th century, seven-storeyed edifice. It is built on a high platform constructed from Pareva stone and its rugged exterior gives it a resemblance of a citadel.

It has been elaborately planned with fortified walls, watchtowers, narrow doorways and corridors to delay the enemy for as long as possible. What lies inside is a complete contrast to the exterior. Visitors will be spellbound by the beautiful murals, miniature paintings and delicate glass and mirror work that adorn the interiors.

Juna Mahal was such a disappointment. Not recommended

We managed to get through the narrow lanes only to reach the spot and know that because of some personal visit it was closed .Besides tickets are available at udai palace which is far from the location. I am not sure if paying rs 300 for this is worth it.

If you are living at Udai Bilas Palace it is free since they own it. Own the fort above the hill too. Must visit. Not in the best of condition but the painting colours are still very good. Sheesh Mahal is in good condition. Steep steps. Very steep since it is 7 storey. We loved it

Edit: when we checked out of the hotel we got a bill for the visit. So it is chargeable. :)
