Begum's palace

Feb 2020

More than 200 years old it was built by the first woman ruler of Bhopal, Qudsia Begum (reigned 1819-1837), who was nicknamed ‘Gauhar’. The palace, which was residential as well as a working place for the Begum, is known for its Indo-Islamic architecture. It is unique among the contemporary palatial structures in other parts of the country in the sense that it has no separate designated parts for women and men (mardana and zanana) since the ruler herself was a woman

Nothing as the name suggests ......

May 2012 • Family

Gauhar Mahal is a historical building built similar to a mahal. It is located on the bank of Upper Lake and situated on the VIP road of bhopal. VIP road is a road that runs parallel to the Upper (badi lake) lake. There is nothing in Gauhar Mahal that you would like to go and see. Gauhar Mahal most of the time hosts different craft mela. Sometimes clothes, sometimes pottery. That is the only right time to go and see Gauhar Mahal, however there is nothing like a beautiful palace about it.

Star of an Earlier Era - Gauhar Mahal

Dec 2014 • Family

The prime location bears testimony to its distinguished history. It is situated on Marine Drive, then a somewhat secluded lakefront road, built to serve a few select hillside estates belonging to the royal family and other political notables of erstwhile Bhopal State in nineteenth and early twentieth century. The name Gauhar Mahal derives from the name of the then ruler Qudsia Begum (aka Gauhar Begum) who reigned from 1819 AD to 1837 AD.
The architecture may have been outstanding for those times. Should certainly have been so, for the then Begum's name to be associated with it. It has been described as a mixture of Hindu and Moghul architectural styles.
It's government property now and a permanent site for small scale trade fairs.
The higher reaches of this almost 200-year old Mahal (palace) still offer a fantastic view of the Bada Talab of yore (aka Bhoj Taal now). Great for photographers.
Lots of free parking too.
Old may not always be gold, but history is always interesting.
The road itself has had a spectacular makeover. Quite fittingly, it is now renamed as VIP Road. It is a great attraction, in its own right. But that is another story.

Gohar Mahal

Nov 2017 • Couples

Gohar Mahal is a palace that was built in the early 19th century by the first woman ruler of Bhopal. The palace is presently in ruins and needs a lot of restoration work before it comes on the main tourist circuit of Bhopal. When we went there there were only a few curious foreigners being given a tour by the guard.

Old Palace, now a fav with Bollywood directors!

May 2012 • Family

Centrally located in the city, it is an old monument now, mostly used as a venue for cultural & promotional exhibitions. It is an old Palace building, beautifully architectured & maintained.

It has been shown in a lot of Bollywood movies movies like Rajneeti, Aarakshan & so on. There is no entry to see the place.

A Peep Through History

Aug 2019

Built by Qudisiya Begum ( also known as Gohar Begum ) in 1820 is a synthesis of Hindu - Muslim architecture . Gohar Begum was the first woman ruler of Bhopal . It was a seat of power and residence as well . It is situated next to the Bari Jheel . It perhaps requires better maintenance to showpiece the glorious history of Bhopal Rulers .
