    History

    Rang Mahal's history is intertwined with the Patiala princely state. Constructed in the 19th century, it served as a residence and a repository of art for the royal family. Maharaja Narendra Singh commissioned the vibrant murals that adorn the walls, showcasing his appreciation for art and culture. These paintings offer a valuable insight into the social, religious, and political landscape of the time. Over the years, the palace witnessed various historical events and served as a center for artistic and cultural activities. Though part of the larger Moti Bagh Palace complex, Rang Mahal gained prominence for its unique artistic character. Today, it stands as a testament to the artistic legacy of Patiala and a reminder of the grandeur of its royal past.
