(7.)Lal Bagh Palace (my fav)

SRC

SRC

It is a three storey building standing tall on the banks of the River Khan. The Palace manifests the life style of the Maratha Rulers. The main gates of the Palace are a replica of the gates of Buckingham palace which is situated in London. The gates were shipped from England. The gates carry the Holkar state emblem which states “He who tries will succeed”. The daunting gates of the Lal Bagh Palace are unique in Asia.

Well these are the best places to visit in my city (my opinion)
