Légende

The Royal Visit to India: the Phul-Bagh, or Flower-Garden Palace, Gwalior, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. '...passing the old fortress or palace of Gwalior, one approaches the 'Phul-bagh.' These are two words, phul, which means flower, and bagh, a garden, making ' the flower-garden.' This is the name of the new palace built by Scindia. It was begun some years ago, but was pressed on to be ready for the Prince of Wales [future King Edward VII], and it is now all but finished. It is to the south of the fort, and our view of it is taken from one of the ruined windows in the old walls. The garden around the old palace is new also, and has artificial water and cascades, bridges and summer-houses, and fancy retreats of all kinds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
