I started my travel towards the city of Chiniot we packed our bodies in the Toyota and it started travelling toward the city our travel was suspended in Midway due to an expected but we never stop doing fun on the way I was reading book and observing people over there and I noted a lot of things over there while were waiting for our bus University going a bench and near us there was a shop also people were selling guavas corn cab and a lot of things with us there were also some other travellers who were waiting with the and we also they were very friendly and we were having a lot of funds and below I have explained the interesting environment and the fun we didn't say the palace


    When will went to over there and I saw the palace for the first time I was totally astonished to see such a huge building like when I saw first time it on my Instagram I was just fell in love with this building and I was so much excited to see this in my real life and when we wear seeing this Marvel passing through the street I was amaze by the size of the building like in the real I saw on the Instagram it was so small but when I can real life it was a huge and this is the Prasad of the building this is not complete hour it is only almost half or one side of the ring and I asked the friend with which I went over there to take a picture of main fans of this beautiful palace.


    Here are some images I captured outside they in exterior of the building you can see that each single centimetre is just a dorned and card everywhere the did so much intricate artwork everywhere that first time when you will see you will be amaze to see that how much work and work has been done on this beautiful building it was and ordinary home of a merchant of the city but when he built this palace with a pile of money was used at that time for lakh rupees of that time were used to build this palace but he died tragically then the palace was just completed and also he had only one son who died at the wedding night in this palace that's why the people around it and the relative called this palace as cursed and Sinister and the left the palace abandone for years and then government of Pakistan to control of it in the nineties.


    Here are some more images with a captured sitting in the first open Hall of the palace you can see a balcony carved out of word David which is used in this palace is so rare like mostly part of this palace they have your walnut wood and other expensive words which were imported from the mountain is used inside it they amount of timber used inside this building is more than I had expected even the stairs and some feelings were made out of wood everywhere you receive on was door balconys windows everywhere intricate wooden work is done.

    If you will look close in every image you will found that even around the first around the windows the doors everybody this wooden artwork is done by hand and the overall palace was constructed by the local artist of this city and after that the city was got purple Latin about wooden art work and furniture and still it is hub of furniture in my country and people come from to buy stuff and wooden art pieces from this city.

    I captured a panoramic image of the wooden stairs you can see that stairs are looking like they are made out of cmant or something like that but they are completely made out of wooden and they palace was being renovated and government is spending a lot of money to renovate it and the palace was the band Run for many decades that's why it was just about to be part of a ruin but now the government is repairing and you can say that how much it has been prepared and these bright colours of recently added again.

    I captured this short while sitting in UP side balcony to capture the mail hanging balcony of wood in this you can see an influence of Mughal architecture as well like the do on the upper side of the balcony.


    Actually the palace has been converted into a library by the government and Visa a lot of shelves and almirah full of books but there was no book guider The almirahs and shell we allowed also there was a museum inside a room but there was almost no light and I was just hardly saying those things inside the museum and my camera is not as great as that I could capture also shots and after that we went up to this year and then I capture this amazing and beautiful doll everywhere around the place all around it.

    The most outstanding thing which I captured in the palace was that almost every room has a separate and different indicates ceiling designs.
