Palace tours & court traditions

Behind the parts of a palace open to every visitor, there are usually rooms still lived in by the family that has always lived there — private wings, family shrines, a dining room laid the same way for a hundred years. This is an invitation into that other half.

Guided by family members or the historians who work closely with them, these tours move at a walking pace through architecture built for court life: durbar halls, zenana courtyards, armouries kept exactly as they were left.

What to Expect

  • Private wings not open to day visitors
  • A family member or house historian as guide
  • Court ritual explained in context, not performed for cameras
  • Archival photographs and objects rarely on public display
