About

Raja Man Singh Tomar built this palace at the foot of Gwalior Fort in the 15th century for his beloved wife Mrignayani, a Gujar princess who demanded a guaranteed water supply (a palace with a permanent water channel from the Rai River) as a condition for marriage. Today it houses one of the finest archaeological museums in central India, managed by the Archaeological Survey of India. The collection spans from the 1st century CE to the 17th century and includes the celebrated Salabhanjika (tree nymph) sculpture, Yakshi figures, rare Shaivite and Vaishnavite sculptures, inscriptions, coins, weapons, and terracotta artifacts from excavations across the Gwalior region.
