An structural marvel beckoning royalty and past

Kolhapur's New Royal residence stands as an awe-inspiring testament to structural brilliance and grandeur, going back back seven years from 1877-1884 and costing approximately seven lakh rupees to build. A visit to this regal masterpiece provides guests with a thrilling visit into its grand halls when revelling in its enduring charm.

As soon as you step inside the fort-palace, your eyes are drawn towards the ground floor where lies the Shahaji Chhatrapati Museum - an refined collection of Kolhapur rulers' memorabilia that brings history alive with refined displays such as weaponry, costumes, embroidery work and jewellery from days gone by. Notable amid its exhibits are silver elephant saddles that add grandeur to its display as an interactive photo gallery brings tourists deeper into Maharaja’s life by featuring engaging images. The museum additionally showcases Mahatma Gandhi and a letter from the British Viceroy and Governor General of India.
