Prag Mahal stands as a striking example of Indo-European architecture in Bhuj, commissioned by Maharao Pragmalji II in the 1860s. The palace's design, overseen by British architect Colonel Henry Saint Wilkins, features intricate stone carvings, pointed arches, and a towering 150-foot clock tower. Visitors can climb the narrow spiral staircase to the top for sweeping views of Bhuj and the surrounding landscape. The interior, though partially damaged in the 2001 earthquake, retains its grand halls and ornate details, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Kutch royal family.
