LocationJammu, Jammu and Kashmir, India

The Hari Niwas Palace is a palace in Jammu, India. It overlooks the Tawi river on one side and on the other side the Trikuta hills.

History[edit]

The palace was built by Hari Singh the last maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir (1895 - 1961) in the early 20th century, as an separate extension of 'Amar Mahal' (built in 1890) so he can can entertain his guests after 1925 rather than older Mubarak Mandi Palace. Here he spent the last days of his stay in Jammu & Kashmir, before moving to Bombay (now Mumbai).[1] The building is an art-deco structure. The descendants of the maharaja converted the palace into a heritage hotel in 1990. In the same compound "Amar Mahal Museum and Library" displays 1200 Kg Hari Singh's gold throne.
