The architectural masterpiece in red sandstone,
the palace was built by Maharaja Ganga Singh (1881-1942 A.D.) in
the memory of his father Maharaja Lal Singhji in 1902 AD. Designed
by Col. Sir Swinton Jacob, is entirely a hybrid architecture -a
mixture of different elements of Rajput, Muslim and European styles
and can be categorized as Indo-Seresanic style. The Rajput exterior
of this palace contrasts dramatically with the occidental decor
within. The intricately dexterous carving on red sandstone is a
hallmark of great craftsmanship. The exotic palace has magnificent
pillars, richly carved fire mantles, Italian colonnades and motif
of lotus in full bloom, adding to the magic of this jewel of the
desert. Walls of palaces are reminiscent of the past vintage etchings,
hunting trophies and old portraits. The palace has it's own museum
and library (the fourth largest in the world), clay pigeon trap
and skeet shooting traps facilities at adjoining ranges.
Bikaner royal family still lives in part of the palace. part of
the palace

has been converted into a luxury hotel and a museum known as Shri
Sadul museum which was donated by late his highness maharaja Dr.
Karni Singhji of Bikaner to Maharaja Shri Ganga Singhji Trust Bikaner
in the year 1972 . Princess Rajyashree Kumari of Bikaner, Chairperson
of Trust played a very important role in the establishment of this
museum.
The museum covers the entire first floor of the Lallgarh palace
and depicts the lives and times of three successive - Maharaja Ganga
Singh, Sadul Singh and Karni Singh through the various artifacts
and photographs displayed in 22 rooms.
