The Durbar Hall, or audience chamber, is undoubtedly the most opulent room in the palace. My aim here was to create a space that exuded power and magnificence while still being functional for royal meetings and gatherings.
- Chandeliers: Two of the largest Venetian chandeliers in the world hang from the intricately carved wooden ceilings.
- Woodwork: Hyderabadi craftsmen were employed to create the hand-carved ceilings and intricate detailing in teak wood.
- Walls: Decorated with gold-leaf accents and murals, the walls feature a blend of European frescoes and Indian motifs.
- Furniture: Custom-made mahogany chairs and tables, imported from France and England, complete the space.
