Panoramic view of the palace indoors on Flickr. On the left and right tables are pieces made of elephant feet. The things hanging above are fans. During a family trip a week ago I discovered a place I hadn’t heard about before - Deeg. This is the panoramic view of the palace of the king, Maharaja Surajmal. Another interesting snippet - the king loved collecting souvenirs from his conquests. In this palace we find Noorjahan’s swing and an entire building from Agra Fort, the latter disassembled stone by stone, catalogued, transported and reassembled in this palace! View high resolution
