The district of Mayurbhanj is very rich in its arts and culture - a few iconic crafts include Dokra (ancient wax casting art form), Sabai Grass weaving (grass and date leaves handicraft) and Mayurbhanj Chhau (martial arts semi classical dance form). The palace itself boasts of art from renowned artists and neighbouring architecture from the 8th and 14th century. Mayurbhanj and The Belgadia Palace is a hidden gem and have played host to many famous personalities, such as dignitaries from the Tagore family, Mark Shand (Late brother of Camilla Parker Bowles, Queen of England) Gyanendra Shah, the present King of Nepal, to J.N.

With views that inspire towards the poetic and profound, this eclectic historical palace invites lazy days spent playing croquet, taking afternoon tea near the outdoor swimming pool and walking amidst the manicured mango orchards sprawled across the property.
