Durbar Hall
In India the
Durbar Hall is generally a place where state banquets
are held and is also used for formal and informal
meetings. The Durbar Hall at the Fateh Prakash Palace
is undoubtedly the most lavish Durbar Hall in India.
It is one of the grandest chambers in Udaipur and its
sheer size makes one gasp in awe. The chandelier in
the middle is the most impressive and is complimented
with paintings of Maharanas and
various weapons adore the
walls.
The hall has an exquisite ceiling and is surrounded by
viewing galleries from where the ladies of the palace
could get a view from the privacy of their veils. Lord Minto, The Viceroy of India laid the foundation stone
for the Durbar hall in 1909.
