    HISTORY
    The much renowned Jagatjit Palace was built
    as the residential complex of the erstwhile
    Maharaja of the state of Kapurthala, HRH
    Maharaja Jagatjit Singh. Spread across a vast
    200 acres (0.81 sq km) of land, the palatial
    building features amazing architecture of the
    19th century and is spectacularly maintained
    by rich vegetation all around. The original
    architecture was designed by M. Marcel; a
    French artist called in by the Maharaja and
    assisted by a local builder by the name of
    Allah Ditta. The construction of the palace
    started in the 1900 and was completed in
    time by 1908 for the new wife of Maharaja
    Jagatjit Singh, Anita Delgado.

    ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
     The SAINIK SCHOOL is undisputedly the
    most famous building in Kapurthala. It was
    once the home of Maharaja Jagatjit Singh
    and his wife Anita Delgado who also have
    been responsible for designing most part of
    present existing town. The construction of
    the building took almost 80 years to
    complete but it was a gem of an endeavor.

    The Jagatjit palace features a magnificent Durbar Hall,
    also called the Diwan-E-Khas and is one of the finest
    of its kind in India. The most interesting feature of
    Jagatjit Palace is the Plaster of Paris figurines and
    painted ceilings that represent the French taste of art
    and architecture. The roof of the palace complex has
    been designed in ‘beaux art’ style that represented
    the 19th century French designs. Among these
    structures, the most impressive part of the building is
    the Mansard Roof featuring oeil-de-boeus windows
    and double slopes that could be found in the Louvre
    of historical French buildings. The Lapis lazuli pillars
    that one sees in the Jagatjit Palace had been
    imported from Italy and the same goes for the
    marbles that are seen in the fireplace. All the
    furniture, which still exists in harmony with the
    design, had been brought in from France as were the
    artists who had painted the ceilings of reception
    rooms.

    The Jagatjit Palace also features interesting artifact
    collection that include a 19th century mechanical
    clock which can point towards moisture, different
    planetary positions, varying temperatures
    throughout the day and the time in about 12
    Asian and European countries. Another special
    artifact is a rare pneumatic Orchestra that is
    integrated with an automated tune player. The
    Jagatjit Palace sure defines the best aspects of
    both French and Indian architecture. Art work
    features in the palace halls have been imported
    from as far as France, Italy and Holland.
