Step into a royal legacy

Raja Nahar Singh Palace in Ballabhgarh, Faridabad dates back to the 18th century. Built by Raja Nahar Singh's ancestors, this palace reflects the grandeur of traditional Indian architecture. Raja Nahar Singh, a key figure in the 1857 revolt against the British rule, made this palace his home, and his legacy is preserved within its walls. The fort-palace, also known as Ballabhgarh Fort, is today a heritage hotel, offering restaurants, cafes, and guest rooms, with beautifully carved arches, and stone jallies that are a testament to the craftsmanship of that era.

Admire the fort’s architecture

Notice the elegant mix of Mughal and Rajput architectural styles as you walk through the palace. The fort's courtyards, intricate lattice work, and ornate pillars tell stories of a time when the palace was alive with royal gatherings. The fort's restoration has preserved much of its original charm, and parts of it now serves as a venue for cultural events. If you plan your visit during local festivals or weddings, you can experience the full splendour with lights, music, and colourful decorations.

A venue for cultural events

Raja Nahar Singh Palace isn't just a historical site; it often serves as the place for cultural activities and fairs. Events like the Kartik Cultural Festival bring the palace to life, giving you a chance to see folk dances, music, and art exhibitions from the region. The palace's ambiance during such events gives you a glimpse of how it might have looked during the reign of the Ballabhgarh kings. Even if you visit on a regular day, the calm surroundings and historical atmosphere make for a rather pleasant experience.
