There are many remnants of its influences where I’m from; in Palermo (Sicily), art nouveau became a craze and was adopted to incorporate the many influences of the cultures that had left a mark on the island, namely Roman, Greek, saracen and moorish. There was, however, a widespread adoption of Indian and Islamic architecture and ornament, with modified minarets, geometric stone mosaics, and pointed curved domes. In a small town called Reggello, there is a castle called “Sammezzano” which, if you google it, will show you just how influential Hindu, Mughal, and Islamic architecture was during the art nouveau period in Italy. I’ve been there and it is out of this world.
I mean you see chinese and japanese architecture ad nauseum, persian is represented and sometimes you see indian, "indonesian" or "himalayan" architecture. But the latter three are *rare* and most definitly underrepresented.
There was some of that around the end of the 19th century and into the 20th. But after that the entire western world has been in the grip of this anti-architecture movement of modernism.
You should check out the ruins or descriptions of the historical Imperial Palaces of India. The Red Fort of Delhi, the Red Fort of Agra and the Palace at Fatehpur Sikri are the ruins of the Mughal Emperor's Imperial Palaces. The Imperial Palaces at Vijayanagara (Hampi), Chandragiri and Penukonda were the Imperial Residences of the Vijayanagara Emperors. The ruins of the Grand Pavilion at Kumrahar was one of the pleasure palaces of the Mauryan Emperors. Foriegn travellers to India describe the Imperial Mauryan Palace at Pataliputra (Patna) to be greater in size and splendour than any of the Imperial Persian palaces. Indian Palaces were kind of like Chinese Palaces in the way they were huge complexes containing multiple gates, buildings, courtyards, gardens, reservoirs etc.
I live near patna, kumhrar, has hospital of gupta era physician dhanvantari. Mauryan pillar of big structure has been found here but only a single pillar remains of it. And a museum funded courtesy of Ratan tata. I didn't know any palace existed there since I only see a single pillar from mauryan era. rest is gupta era ayurveda hospital of dhanvantari Like the palace of magadh king ajatsatru and the palace of president of republic of Vaishali (probably around 30-50km away from patna), it only exists in floor plan. You won't find any palaces except remains of the floor plan. If you go rajgir you'll find the cyclopean wall (the great wall of bihar) and nalanda
I'd love to see more of these videos from around differnt parts of asia. Every time I see eastern palaces I'm always in absolute awe of the skill of the stone masons! I cannot even imagine being able to carve stone with such finesse
What was shown in this video was NOTHING. If you really want to be amazed at the skill of Ancient Indian stone masons, you should check out the Kailasa Temple. Carved out of a single rock starting from the spire instead of the foundations. A testament to the professionalism and sheer skill of Indian architects and stone masons.
It’s always in my opinion that the palaces in India are vastly underrated. What a shame. I only found out about them from the movie The Fall (2006) by Tarsem Singh starring Lee Pace (Elf king/the Hobbit). The movie has the most beautiful cinematography and visual images featuring some of India’s palaces and ancient water wells. It was a jaw dropping moment for me. Did a lot of research afterwards and fell in love with India's palaces ever since. I wish they get promoted more and protected even more from vandalism and neglect. A costly business of course.
Also the bold white marble facade with calligraphy, the symmetries and proportions, the gardens, and the serial vision (how the monument looks from different pov's)
@@sergpie the story of Taj Mahal isn't worth celebration. Mumtaz Mahal (the wife of emperor Shah Jahan) died giving birth to his 14th child, also Shah Jahan had multiple wives. I don't know what is "romantic" here. Also to make matters worse, Shah Jahan also would regularly make love to his own daughter, jahanara, who was born through mumtaz. Far from being a monument of love, Taj Mahal is a monument that will make even the devil cower in shame. The only reason why it's popular is because the great Indian prime minister Nehru(sarcasm) promoted it instead of other far far better monuments
There are countless Indian temples that should be more famous than the Taj Mahal. Ranakpur Temple, Aksharadham Temple, Hoysala Temples at Dwarasamudra, Chandela Temples at Kharjuravahaka, Rani Ki Vav, Brihadeeswara Temple, Konark Temple, Martand Temple, Modhera Temple, Dwarkhadhish Temple, Temples at Ellora and Ajanta, Temples at Vijayanagara, Rudreshwara Temple, Mahabodhi Temple are just a few that comes to mind
I live near Laxmi Vilas Palace. It’s situated in Baroda or Vadodara city. It’s just 1 km away from my home. We used to play cricket and football in it’s giant compound which is available for public use. The King was a very noble man and he genuinely care about his people.
Hi, I am from Rajasthan. The history of Rajasthan state in India has been very glorious. Rajasthan is called the land of heroes. Heroic women like Maharana Pratap, Rana Kumbha, Rani Padmini, Rana Hammir have taken birth here. All of you must visit Rajasthan once in your lifetime. Thank you.
Western media has more important things to show in India: Such as showing the poverty in India where almost the entire country is living in extreme poverty. (Fact: 82 Million people which is only 6% of Indian population with numbers dropping very fast) Such as showing how piped water is practically a luxury (62% have piped water and its set to rise above 90% within few years due to a national mission) Such as showing how toilets are nonexistent in India (100% toilet coverage already achieved a while back, but they can continue to lie for few more years) Such as showing how Indians have no electricity (100% electricity coverage achieved but they won't tell you that) Such as showing how people live in slums (No mention of the massive government project to give these slum dwellers 12.2 Million newly built houses which these slum dwellers promptly put up for rent and return to the slums that have satellite TV and washing machines) Such as showing how India has the third highest carbon emissions in the world (No talk about how its still much lower per capita and how India also has the fourth largest solar power installed capacity ahead of Germany and how 40% of Indian electric grid is renewables powered now, a target that India was supposed to achieve in 2030 as per 2015 Paris Climate Deal. And India achieved that target in HALF the time. New target for 2030 is now tripling this renewable capacity) Such as showing how India is a flawed democracy (which they surmise based on some opinion poll of 30 people, facts on ground ignored) I could go on and on, but its clear that Western media wields selective bias and half truth as a weapon against India. So no wonder most people outside know nothing about India's achievements, past or present. I still remember the cartoon on NYT when India's Mars probe reached its destination successfully on the first attempt a decade ago.
It's because the government barely does anything to advertise them, since they are too busy with taj mahal, yeah sure taj is beautiful but it's most certainly overrated.
Excellent video on a fascinating topic. I love national architecture styles and have a thing for palaces commissioned by royalty. My favorite has to be Caserta Royal Palace in Italy, but the palaces of the rajas and Indian kings are absolutely stunning. I can see how, upon seeing them and returning to Europe, that they’d be instrumental in fueling the orientalist styles that sprung-up in Europe in the late 1800s/early 1900s.
I absolutely loved caserta palace, i saw a picture of the grand staircase on Pinterest and absolutely fell in love, i grew a general fascination for Italian architecture from playing the assassins creed games, specially Italian Renaissance, my favourites have to be Santa Maria novella, Santa Croce and of course Santa Maria del fiore,
I'm intrigued by the criteria you used to select these particular buildings, when the are many, many other palaces in India that I would have ranked higher - the fort outside Jaipur (I don't remember the name 50 years later) Fatepur Sikri and so many others I've mainly forgotten from my childhood there.
I basically just decided to cover some that I personally really liked and that didn't look to similar to each other. Like you say there are a lot of other amazing buildings that I could have included here so I could make a part 2 at some point. There's certainly material for it.
It doesn't always have to be the best, the biggest, etc. We know India has hundreds, if not thousands, of beautiful palaces and forts. These are nice to see, and I'm sure we'll see more. This isn't a top 10 list.
7:39 the king and in architecture was inspired by Burma temple and angor and they too inspired by india civilization india so important to Southeast asia so much
I was almost certain you would have covered the Mysore Palace which is considered one of the most architecturally beautiful, and was surprised to find the rather boring Falaknuma instead. Although I had no idea the last Tsar of Russia had visited India and especially Hyderabad.
I'm really glad you mentioned Ummaid Palace in the video. It's one of the largest and most beautiful palaces in the world, but usually gets overlooked because most people visit only Jaipur and not the surrounding cities. Not to mention that despite it's low profile and popularity due to relative insulation from popular tourism, it has emerged as a wedding destination for many iconic couples across the world.
I've been interested in this topic foe a while now, and this video is just so perfect for what I needed! Thank you! Also can you PLEASE do at least one video on South India? Also Northeast, Maharashtra, temples, Taj Mahal, Old Delhi / Red Fort etc. There is so much more I wanna learn, and this videos are perfect in their presentation style, explanation, and length! At least one more India video plz! Do Mumbai and it's central railway station!
maybe they could do one for every region? I'd love to see eastern India on here too, especially a hypothetical of ancient palaces (the greeks allegedly thought them to be grander than persia)
i think the most beautiful palace that i have ever seen was GWALIOR palace... i mean... the beauty of that palace is unfathomable.Although Scindia royal family still use the main part of the palace but yeah the parts available was absolutely breathtaking.
Explore Temple architecture too. Most of them built before mughal or British invasions. India lost temples, universities, palm leaf books etc in invasions. Indian culture still stands.
There's a lot of beautiful architectural marvel in India more beautiful than Taj Mahal. Don't know how Taj Mahal got most famous. May be because of the love story.
Vastly under researched on video : Indias great Palaces and Governmental Regal Buildings. Fascinating- i hope to see and stay in these magnificent architecturally astounding culture heritage structures. 🌿🟥🌿
Not at all. European cities are pretty good as an Indian. Most of the cities today often try to replicate New York. European cities have prevented that.
As an Indian I would like to say thank you for showing all this but these palaces are not really that regal as compared to the architecture of the ancient palaces in our country which are in ruins today. The current palatial architectures have some new designs in it but the rich intense carvings of celestial maidens called Apsaras and creatures of different worlds are missing. Our ancient temples and palaces and palace temples have those but many of them are in ruins, only a few are still actively maintained. These palaces would basically belong to the upper class Hindus in ancient India but today they have been used by royals, our ancient palaces, though in ruins, are still more beautiful than these that u have shown but it was a nice presentation. One more fact I would like to add - We were 560+ princely kingdoms who unified as a nation against the British and Mughal rule during the First war of Independence. I am talking about the common citizens and their unification, not the royals or vassal states or the barbaric invaders/looters.
Alot of these forts have stood through numerous islamic invasions and sieges for more than 800 years. These are a powerful representation of the great indian pushback against these invasions. Especially forts in Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
I'm from Brazil, Latin America. The image that comes to mind when I close my eyes and think about India is the Mughal architecture of Rajasthan... Indian-Mughal architecture is very beautiful. It looks...persian. There's something really luxurious and exotic about this aesthetics. I can't explain exactly what... There is something dreamlike about this mysterious oriental aesthetic.
Do have a look at South Indian architecture, too. Especially temple architecture. The Tanjore and Madurai temples being good examples. Even the sun temple in konark is stunning, you should check it out!
Yeah that Mughal which destroyed 60,000 temples of Hindus, I recommend you to see the Hindu Temple architecture then you'll get it, out of these 4 nothing was Mughal 👍
every time I see these films on huge palaces all I can think of is a wonderful workers that had such a great intelligence to be able to build such beautiful buildings I assembly adore the Indian people and it's sad that the English came in there and you notice that they haven't done anything wonderful since
These palaces were built with great skill, imagination, and planning, and resources but the maharajas made no attempt to improve the living conditions of their subjects. After independence, the focus rightly shifted to improving the conditions of the masses, and less on grand palaces. If you want to see an ugly modern palace, look up "Antilla", the home of the Ambani clan in Mumbai.
@@sowmitriswamy6718u surely have got your history talking points from ncert . Have you ever visited Mysore. That city was under the wodeyars during the British time . While the British areas people faced famines , poverty , unemployment, segregation. Mysore maharajah did everything to improve quality of life of people by building dams , providing education, building colleges for women and men , making a constitutional parliamentary system for the kingdom , providing electricity to masses , making a eye hospital, organised police and scout boys etc etc etc . At the same time British Bengal people were dying of hunger .
@@sowmitriswamy6718antilla is a personal estate not built with public taxes . And yes it is the ugliest crap built in india till date . The sheer uselessness of that structure amazes me. It's dog$hit . It's an eyeshore
@@jyotiradityachoudhury7987 Mysore is the exception; look at the other kingdoms where maharajas, rajas, etc. lorded over the peasants, built beautiful palaces but neglected the rest of their kingdom.
If you have seen Taj Mahal, you will realise it has an eternal glow, especially when the place is less crowded after a rain. These palaces in comparison, inspired by both local and western influences, may intimidate one with it size and beautiful ornamentation. These palaces are magnificent in there own account; but the pristine feel aided by the whiteness and geometrical precision that the taj possess is unmatched. And of course the love story tale has made it more popular. There is only one structure that looks likeTaj. In contrast in these palaces we can find similarities with other construction styles. Eg: faluknama inspired by paladian architecture. To a eye familar with architecture, it is paladian in new setting. But that same eye can't find a similar structure for Taj and thus taken by surprise.
The taj mahal was built by what was then the most powerful nation on the planet, and it nearly ruined the country's economy with it. And it is a tomb, a large gravestone essentially, which cannot really be compared to the palace. Also it isnt even unique, there are a couple of tombs like it in the South, just smaller.
this is a cool topic for a video. I feel like (at least in the western world) the architecture of Asia doesn't get enough play.

As an Indian I would like to say thank you for showing all this but these palaces are not really that regal as compared to the architecture of the ancient palaces in our country which are in ruins today. The current palatial architectures have some new designs in it but the rich intense carvings of celestial maidens called Apsaras and creatures of different worlds are missing. Our ancient temples and palaces and palace temples have those but many of them are in ruins, only a few are still actively maintained.
These palaces would basically belong to the upper class Hindus in ancient India but today they have been used by royals, our ancient palaces, though in ruins, are still more beautiful than these that u have shown but it was a nice presentation.
One more fact I would like to add - We were 560+ princely kingdoms who unified as a nation against the British and Mughal rule during the First war of Independence. I am talking about the common citizens and their unification, not the royals or vassal states or the barbaric invaders/looters.
Indian have best architect in the whole galaxy 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
The grandeur of lndia 🙏🇮🇳🙏
Its hard to believe my ancestors build some of these wild wonders.
Alot of these forts have stood through numerous islamic invasions and sieges for more than 800 years.
These are a powerful representation of the great indian pushback against these invasions. Especially forts in Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
wtf Maharastra have forts..Lolll
@@devanshmahajan he is only showing the palace with English engagement.
@@Deepak_Dhakad it's in a good condition.........
search Sonargarh Fort Jaisalmer..even now public live in this fort
@@devanshmahajan There are over 350 forts in Maharashtra, and all of them are of historical significance.
Can you do collages next? I want to see the story of the Pittsburgh Cathedral of Learning
Mysore palace?
I'm from Brazil, Latin America. The image that comes to mind when I close my eyes and think about India is the Mughal architecture of Rajasthan...
Indian-Mughal architecture is very beautiful. It looks...persian. There's something really luxurious and exotic about this aesthetics. I can't explain exactly what... There is something dreamlike about this mysterious oriental aesthetic.
Do have a look at South Indian architecture, too. Especially temple architecture. The Tanjore and Madurai temples being good examples. Even the sun temple in konark is stunning, you should check it out!
Yeah that Mughal which destroyed 60,000 temples of Hindus, I recommend you to see the Hindu Temple architecture then you'll get it, out of these 4 nothing was Mughal 👍
@@aryanyadav3690 there weren't these many temples
Muito Obrigado
Hi tattiana we in India refer that architecture as rajputana or simply rajput architecture.
This is good video, but needs more addition to its list
every time I see these films on huge palaces all I can think of is a wonderful workers that had such a great intelligence to be able to build such beautiful buildings I assembly adore the Indian people and it's sad that the English came in there and you notice that they haven't done anything wonderful since
Yep they caused a big disruption of the development of the Indians
These palaces were built with great skill, imagination, and planning, and resources but the maharajas made no attempt to improve the living conditions of their subjects. After independence, the focus rightly shifted to improving the conditions of the masses, and less on grand palaces. If you want to see an ugly modern palace, look up "Antilla", the home of the Ambani clan in Mumbai.
@@sowmitriswamy6718u surely have got your history talking points from ncert . Have you ever visited Mysore. That city was under the wodeyars during the British time . While the British areas people faced famines , poverty , unemployment, segregation. Mysore maharajah did everything to improve quality of life of people by building dams , providing education, building colleges for women and men , making a constitutional parliamentary system for the kingdom , providing electricity to masses , making a eye hospital, organised police and scout boys etc etc etc . At the same time British Bengal people were dying of hunger .
@@sowmitriswamy6718antilla is a personal estate not built with public taxes . And yes it is the ugliest crap built in india till date . The sheer uselessness of that structure amazes me. It's dog$hit . It's an eyeshore
@@jyotiradityachoudhury7987 Mysore is the exception; look at the other kingdoms where maharajas, rajas, etc. lorded over the peasants, built beautiful palaces but neglected the rest of their kingdom.
The White Palace is to exquisite for words
Which one?
Very cool
If you have seen Taj Mahal, you will realise it has an eternal glow, especially when the place is less crowded after a rain. These palaces in comparison, inspired by both local and western influences, may intimidate one with it size and beautiful ornamentation. These palaces are magnificent in there own account; but the pristine feel aided by the whiteness and geometrical precision that the taj possess is unmatched. And of course the love story tale has made it more popular. There is only one structure that looks likeTaj. In contrast in these palaces we can find similarities with other construction styles. Eg: faluknama inspired by paladian architecture. To a eye familar with architecture, it is paladian in new setting. But that same eye can't find a similar structure for Taj and thus taken by surprise.
There are multiple copies of Taj and many monuments and buildings from which the Taj itself is inspired
The taj mahal was built by what was then the most powerful nation on the planet, and it nearly ruined the country's economy with it. And it is a tomb, a large gravestone essentially, which cannot really be compared to the palace. Also it isnt even unique, there are a couple of tombs like it in the South, just smaller.
Mysore palace 💛❤️
More like eyesore Palace, huh..
! Kings and things just dropped à New vidéo !
Some of the scenes of the movie "the fall" are shot in these palaces
4:17 "Now now, my dear royal children, don't be late for school, be ready to go to your train" -A normal day in the life of an Indian royal family.
Maharaja sayajirao gaikwad is considered enlightened ruler in India. hi funded many students even from lower cast for example babasaheb Ambedkar.
@@krushnaji4940 What in the world does it have to do with having freaking personal train lines for your kids to go to school? Whataboutism Man?
