Rajvant Palace

Rajvant Palace is a heritage palace located in Rajpipla, Narmada district, Gujarat, on the banks of the Karjan River. Built in the early 20th century as the residence of the rulers of the former princely state of Rajpipla, it exhibits Indo-European architectural style with spacious verandas, arches and landscaped gardens. Now operated as a heritage hotel, it preserves royal memorabilia and offers visitors a glimpse into the region's princely history and architecture.

Visitors can expect a well-preserved early 20th-century palace set within landscaped gardens in Rajpipla. The exterior shows Indo-European architecture with arches, columns and verandas. Interiors, where accessible, display period furniture, photographs and royal memorabilia. As the property operates as a heritage hotel, access is primarily for staying guests, with day visitors generally limited to exterior areas and designated spaces by prior permission. The setting is quiet and residential, near the Karjan River.

Rajvant Palace was built in the early 20th century, around 1910-1915, as the residence of the rulers of Rajpipla State, a former princely state ruled by the Gohil dynasty. Commissioned during the reign of Maharana Shri Vijaysinhji Chhatrasinhji, it served as the royal residence and administrative centre and reflects the princely architecture of that period. After integration of princely states, it remained with the royal family and was later converted into a heritage hotel.

The palace represents the princely heritage and Indo-European architectural traditions of Gujarat's former princely states. It preserves cultural elements of Rajpipla's royal history through its architecture, interiors and collections, and serves as a cultural landmark for heritage tourism in the Narmada region.
