Rajmahal, Mehsana

Rajmahal is a palace on Ramosana Tekri in Mehsana, Gujarat, which Sayajirao Gaekwad III of Baroda State had built in 1904, as public relief work during the famine of 1899–1900. Baroda State had moved its north Gujarat headquarters to Mehsana in 1902. The English architect Frederick William Stevens designed the palace for the Maharaja's son Fatehsinhrao, but after his death in 1908 it was handed to the municipal authorities. From 1960 it housed the Collector's Office, and later the district court, until 2017.

The palace has three floors and 130 rooms, and its roofline carries one large onion dome, eight small onion domes and eight small pyramidal ones. A statue of Sayajirao Gaekwad III stands in the open square in front. The building has been unused since 2017; the Gaekwad family is seeking possession through the courts, and there are proposals to turn it into a heritage hotel and museum.
