Durbar Hall
Durbar Hall was built in 1909 within the Fatehpraksh Palace as a venue for official functions such as State banquets and meetings .The gallery of the hall was used by the Royal ladies to observe the Durbar proceedings. This hall has a luxuriant interior with large chandeliers. Weapons of the maharanas and some of their portraits are depicted here. The foundation stone for this hall was laid by Lord Minto, the Viceroy of India, in 1909, during the rule of Maharana Fateh Singh and was then called Minto Hall.

The Durbar Hall is among the most grand of all in Udaipur and even among the various Durbar Halls across other palaces in India.
From the galleries that surround the The Durbar Hall, one gets a magnificent view of the Lake Pichola, Jagmandir Island Palace, Lake Palace and the Sajjangarh Palace. The Durbar Hall is a glorious venue for conferences, celebratory dinners and banquets. Multi-cuisine buffets or sit-down dinners can best be organised here to complement a Regal Wedding in Udaipur. Musical soirees and performances can also be organised.
The arched gallery of the The Durbar Hall Sabhagaar, on the first floor, houses the famous Crystal Gallery, probably the largest single private collection of crystal anywhere in the world.
