Bastar Palace is one of the most important heritage sites in Jagdalpur. This historical monument boasts fascinating art and architecture, complemented by exquisite carvings and engravings on walls and ceilings. Surrounded by well-laid gardens and housing artefacts and figurines that tell the tale of past kings' glory, the palace invites history-lovers and tourists from far and wide. Another special feature of the palace is that it glitters in the sunlight and looks particularly charming. The palace is believed to have been built by the rulers of Bastar when they shifted the kingdom's capital from Barsur to Jagdalpur and the best time to visit the palace is during the Dussehra celebrations in autumn when it comes alive with festivities.
