The magnificent palace is a fine example of amalgation of Rajput an Mughal architecture of India. Is was built by Bundela chief Birsingh Deo of Datia in the year 1620 A.D.

Interesting and well preserved sculpture of Brahma at Lakshmana temple in Khajuraho. A four-armed, crowned and bearded deity with his attributes. A book in the left upper hand (The Vedas), a water pot (Kamandala) in the lower hand, a rosary (a string of prayer beads called the 'akṣamālā' (literally "garland of eyes"), which He uses to keep track of the Universe's time) in the lower right and a not well identified object in the upper right hand (supposedly it should be a flower). The beard conveys wisdom and the long beard gives the idea that creation is a never-ending process.
Brahma is the creator of the universe and the first god of the Hindu Trinity, the other being Vishnu and Shiva. He is the generator of the mankind.
The skeletal figures in the sides are unique in Khajuraho, I couldn't find its meaning, they are not very sad anyway. A group of celestial musicians (gandharpas) animate the scene at the top.
Though almost all Hindu religious rites involve prayer to Brahmā, very few temples are dedicated to His worship. In this case the sculpture is located in a temple to Vishnu, the most worshiped deity.
