An architectural marvel, which blends the Mugal and Rajasthani styles, Vinay Vilas Palace is a must see spectacle in Alwar. It is placed just below the fort. The ground floor of this 18th century monument now houses numerous government offices and the upper floor functions as the state museum.
Most alluring attraction in this palace complex is the exquisitely carved Durbar hall, which welcomes the visitors to this former citadel of Alwar kings. This pretty hall encompasses a small room, which exhibits marvelous frescos and it should be borne in mind that special permission from the present king is necessary to have a glimpse of that rare artwork. Another fabulous spot in this lovely palace is the Women’s chamber, which is also exquisitely carved. Built by Raja Vinay Singh, this former royal residence of the Alwar rulers stood as a reminiscent of its past glory.
