Ujjain - Kaliadeh Palace

Kaliadeh Palace is located in an island-like setting on the Shipra River. The landscape provides a glorious backdrop to this imposing building.

Constructed in 1458, the Kaliadeh Palace has 52 tanks that river water is diverted through to create cooling breezes. The central dome of the palace is an excellent example of Persian architecture.

The Kaliadeh Palace fell into ruin but was restored by Madhav Rao Scindia in 1920. The palace was built on the location of the Sun Temple, carvings from the Sun Temple still exist on the bridge to the island.
