The Akhand Chandi Palace in Chamba should be seen as soon as possible. Its intricate wooden carvings, glass work, painted walls; the specially commissioned ceiling is deteriorating because there are no funds to restore them. Raja Umed Singh built this palace as a place for himself and his family to live in somewhere around the middle of the 18th century. Later kings like Raja Sham Singh, Capt. Marshall and Raja Bhuri made their own modifications to the beautiful palace. Much later, the palace was sold to the government. Stand at this monument to flamboyant good taste and you are treated to a magnificent view of the Chamba Valley, Chaugan, Laxmi Narayan Temple, Sui Mata Temple, Chamunda Devi Temple, Rang Mahal, Hari Raj Temple and Bansi Gopal Temple. Definitely not a sight to be missed on your visit to Chamba Valley.
