Dine with Maharaja
Dine at the Victorian Signature Home in Lucknow
Tornos presents a distinctive opportunity to explore the deep-rooted history of Lucknow by experiencing the heritage of its Hindu Royalty at the Khajoorgaon city palace, the ancestral home of Raja Amresh Kumar Singh’s family. Remarkably, this estate existed before the Nawabs, continued through their era and the British Raj, and flourishes even today. We at Tornos are excited to present a distinctive opportunity to explore the deep-rooted history of Lucknow by experiencing the heritage of its Hindu Royalty at the Khajoorgaon city palace, the ancestral home of Raja Amresh Kumar Singh’s family. Remarkably, this estate existed before the Nawabs, continued through their era and the British Raj, and flourishes even today.
Khajoorgaon proudly stands as the oldest Taluqdar estate in the former Awadh province. The family’s distinguished lineage is highlighted by the rare honor of two generations being awarded the Knight Commander of the Order of the Indian Empire (K.C.I.E.) by Queen Victoria in 1887 and King George-V in 1911.
Built in 1896 by Rana Shankar Baksh Singh, the city palace remains the family’s private residence. Its architecture beautifully merges British and local Awadhi styles, featuring a stunning darbar hall with original hand-painted murals. Notably, it is the only palace in the region with murals in its main hall. Furthermore, many windows and balconies display wrought iron, gold-painted faceplates of Queen Victoria, reflecting the British influence on the family.
Tornos’ experienced Hospitality Team excels at creating memorable immersive experiences at Khajoorgaon Palace. We would be happy to design an exclusive cultural experience for you, which could include an interpreted live Kathak dance performance, live ghazals and thumris, and an authentic, home-cooked Awadhi dinner shared with the family.
