Bhuj’s Prag Mahal, a 19th-century red-brick palace, stands as a striking contrast to its desert surroundings in western Gujarat. Built in 1865, the palace evokes the architectural style of Oxford, England, with its imposing structure and intricate details. Despite its relatively recent construction, the building suffered significant damage during a major earthquake in 2001, leaving it in a state of disrepair. Today, visitors can explore the remnants of this historic site, witnessing the blend of European and Indian influences that define its unique character.
