It is a private collection and you will still love to see it in spite of people asking for tips.Remember you need a permit from the tourism office if you are a non Indian( It is Free) More

This amazing old palace is full of the most opulent but decayed furnishings. They are badly in need of restoration, and the dross needs to be eliminated. Could be wonderful; badly in need of money being spent on it. More
