The Vijay Vilas Palace was built in 1906 AD by Yuvraj Vijay
Sinhji of Palitana, a member of the same Gohil Rajput clan
as the Maharajas of Bhavnagar. The Vijay Vilas palace, once
the country retreat, of the Gohil Rajputs offers a splendid

which are situated in close proximity.

of Palitana and an excursion of the Palitana township.

palace of the Maharajas of Bhavnagar, featuring gardens,
wall paintings and woodcarvings. The ship breaking yard
at Alang is also nearby.
