Gajlaxmi Palace

"About - Tucked amidst the forests at the foothills of Megha Hill, Gajlaxmi Palace is a charming Art Deco heritage homestay built in the 1930s. Surrounded by lush woodlands, streams and abundant birdlife, the palace offers an intimate royal retreat where history, nature and warm family hospitality come together for an unforgettable countryside experience.
History - Built by Rajkumar Sreshesh Pratap Singh Deo, a lawyer, filmmaker, author and accomplished magician, Gajlaxmi Palace reflects the eclectic tastes of one of Dhenkanal's most remarkable royals. Today, the palace is lovingly preserved by Kumar Saheb Jitendra Pratap Singh Deo and Kumarani Navneeta Singh Deo, who have transformed their ancestral home into a heritage homestay, offering guests an authentic glimpse into Odisha's royal legacy amidst pristine natural surroundings."
