Huzoor Palace in Porbandar, Gujarat, is a grand edifice that exemplifies the opulence and splendor of the bygone era. Built in the 20th century, this palace, sometimes referred to as the Kirti Mandir, was the princely abode of the erstwhile Rana family of the Jethwa dynasty. The regal palace boasts a magnificent European colonial architectural style with numerous wings and a sprawling garden that faces the Arabian Sea. Ensconced amidst well-manicured lawns and picturesque courtyards, the palace embodies an air of mystery and elegance. It is surrounded by a high wall that ensures the privacy of the royal family living quarters. The intricate windows, large balconies, and stone carvings in the architecture speak volumes of the artisans' skillfulness of that period. Although the interior of the palace is not open to tourists, the exterior offers a visual feast with its white hues and photogenic backdrop against the coastal scenery. Its historical significance and architectural beauty make it a must-see destination in Porbandar.

An abandoned palace, not an attraction
I would not term it as an Attraction. It is just an abandoned palace at the Porbandar Beach front.
Entry is not allowed. There are guards along the wall.
Must have been majestic once though.
