Mubarak Mahal is seen in the courtyard while entering the City Palace from the Tripolia side. The Mubarak Mahal was built by Maharaja Madho Singh II somewhere late in the 19th century as the reception hall for the main palace. This is where it derieves its name Mubarak Mahal. The architecture is a combination of Islamic, Rajput and European styles. Today it houses a textile museum with various fine silks, shawls from the Rajputana time. However the biggest attraction is the attire of Madho Singh I who it is said was six and a half feet tall and weighed close to 250 KGs, yet had 108 wives !!!
