Nestled in Ballabhgarh near Faridabad, Raja Nahar Singh Palace—also known as Nahar Singh Mahal—was established in the early 18th century, around 1739 AD, by Rao Balram and later expanded by his successor Raja Nahar Singh. Constructed in classic Rajput‑Mughal style, the palace showcases ornate sandstone architecture including corner minarets (only two still stand), elegant cupolas, chhatris (domed pavilions), and intricately carved stone lattices. Built around a spacious central courtyard, it includes grand public halls such as the Darbar‑e‑aam, and the luxury Rang Mahal, designed for royal audiences and gatherings.

The palace is deeply tied to history: Raja Nahar Singh played a pivotal part in India’s 1857 uprising against British rule and was subsequently executed. In recent decades, the Haryana Tourism Department restored the palace and converted it into a heritage boutique property with six decorated guest rooms, a restaurant, and event spaces. Every November, the grand Kartik Cultural Festival revives its historic aura with folk performances, arts, and regional crafts—bringing the palace’s walls alive once more.
