Wondering how the royals lived in majestic palaces? Find all your answers at Taj Nadesar Palace in Varanasi. This flawless structure was once the epitome of power and is nestled in the world’s oldest civilization—Varanasi (to many it’s still Banaras or Kashi). Surrounded by luscious mango orchards and pristine jasmine fields, the palatial abode belonged to Maharaja Prabhu Narain Singh in the 19th-century and is named after goddess Nadesari, located right in front of the temple devoted to the deity.

Upon arrival, be ready to be charmed as you are pleasantly received by the divine melody of conches and chants. The warm hospitality at the palace, now a hotel promising a royal experience, will win your heart.
