A high mirror adorning the wall with ornamentation of cresent moon and star at its apex,is the only remain in the palace now, this mirror defines how grandly the palace must have been furnished.
One of high arched doors, beautifully crafted
This palace is a 'museum of arches'and features various architecture styles of the world,
going through the palace inside out, I could understand the builder's fondness for varied architecture,a fusion of all styles put together.
