“Raja Bharkandi Mahesh Pratap Singh built this palace in 1942. It is located in the Rai Bareilley district of Uttar Pradesh and is about 65 kms from Lucknow.. It is the palace home of the Maharaja of Shivgarh, though now parts of it are used as school for kids and another part as office for Community Empowerment Lab (CEL). The design is a replica of Lalgarh Fort, Bikaner. His family were Gaur Rajputs. Gaur was the ancient name for Bengal where Mahesh Pratap’s family were placed some centuries ago before they moved to Uttar Pradesh in search of more land. The palace has three sections - each one from a different era. The most recent section is in the front and is a beautiful white-washed palace where the king lives or visits sometimes with his family. This section hosts the CEL office as well as huge palatial rooms for guests as well. The second oldest part is right behind the main palace and houses the school. It is the most beautiful part of the palace but now old and also falling apart - there are multiple rooms locked and inaccessible to outsiders. The school is only a small part of it... and it is actually carved out of an old and rather huge ballroom. The oldest section is located at the far end and is almost inaccessible. It is used as a warehouse and is looks absolutely deserted.”

“Pathetic cinema hall. You can see movie got stuck in middle without interval. Screen gets black out. First time in my history of all movies I've seen this. No power in the cinema hall. Pathetic management. Even the projector guy don't staying there, he is trying to manage all screens. Movie Adipurush Will never suggest anyone to go. They should refund money, because of bad experience they gave to all viewers.”
