Maharao Lakhpatji's old palace, built in traditional Kutchi style, is in a small fortified courtyard in the old part of the city.It's a beautifully presented museum and is one of the highlights of a visit to Bhuj. The entrance to the palace houses the tourist office, and this is also site of the Maharaja Sinh Madansinhji Museum, which has a varied collection of paintings, photos and embroideries.

The real attraction here, though, is the Hall of Mirrors, created by the master artisan, his poet ruler, Maharao Shri Lakhpatiji around the middle of the 18th century. A blend of Indian and European artistry, the walls of the great hall are of white marble covered by mirrors separated by gilded ornaments, lighting being provided by elaborate candelabra, with shades of Venetian glass. The most remarkable feature, however, is a pleasure pool, in the middle of which rises a square platform where the maharaja composed his poems and gave full encouragement to the classical arts of dancing girls, bards and musicians.

There is also a very colourful and richly decorated Swaminarayan Temple near the Aina Mahal.
