The Holkar family resided in the palace up to 1978. After the death of Tukojirao Holkar(III), his granddaughter Usha Raje established a trust and looked after the estate. Later, the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Arjun Singh brought it under control of State Government.
The palace was home to the powerful maratha Holkar Dynasty. Spread over 76 acres of property, the construction of the 45-room palace happened in three phases. It is built in the Italian Renaissance Revival architecture style[1] and once had a 20-acre rose garden, while its main gates are modelled after those at the Buckingham Palace, by Triggs of Calcutta.[2] Paneling, bronze work, decorative plaster, stone work and furniture for the palace were provided by H.H. Martyn & Co. of Cheltenham, England.[3]
Tukojirao Holkar II in 1886, built this palace, his son Shivajirao Holkar continued building it and his grandson, Tukojirao Holkar III in 1926, further expanded it. After the death of Tukojirao Holkar III in 1978, his third wife, an American, Sharmishtha Devi (formerly Nancy Anne Miller) moved out and subsequently, much of the first floor was destroyed in a fire.
In the 1980s, the palace fell into disrepair and was prone to theft of its antiques before the state government acquired the property in 1987 for Rs 64.46 lakh.[2][4]
