Madhav Vilas Palace, located in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, India, displays the grandeur of the colonial era with its exquisite architecture. It was once the summer palace of the Scindias, the Maratha rulers of Gwalior. The palace stands as a testament to European influence, with its turrets and pink hue earning it the nickname 'the pink palace'. The structure has an extensive lush garden and is adorned with marble floors, intricately designed archways, and a striking Ganpati Mandap. Inside, the palace houses the Madhav National Park Office. While the palace itself is typically not open to general public for internal viewing, visitors can appreciate the architecture from the outside and stroll through the surrounding garden area. The blend of architectural styles and the picturesque setting make it a subject of interest for history buffs, photographers, and tourists looking to explore the royal heritage of the region.

Not for tourists!
Madhav Vilas Palace is taken over by IB department of India and is now out of bounds for visitors. Apart from that, the only worth seeing places are Scindia Chhatris and Madhav National Park. Bangang..
