This fort reminiscent of the great Kingdom of Patiala and Sikh architecture is known as "Qila Mubarak", or " The Fort of Victory".
The palace was built by Maharaja Ala Singh in 1764.
The residential palace of Royal family of Patiala, Qila Mubarak complex is built in 10-acre (40,000 m2) ground in the heart of the city.
There is also an underground sewerage system in the Fort,
and also a further navigation of tunnels and passages, not accessible for public.
The Fort is divided into multiple courtyards. Each courtyard is indicating as a palace, and each was used for special purposes
There is a house of the jyot ( the room of eternal flame ) — a sacred fire that was brought from Jwalamukhi by Baba Ala Singh, the founder of Patiala and it continues to be lit till date.
The jyot - "flame" is kept in a raised court, still lits, is consiered eternal and not accessible.
Being more than 300-year-old building, the Fort is in a bad shape and has been damaged a lot.
World Monuments Fund had listed 'Quila Mubarak' in the list of world’s 100 "most endangered monuments" in year 2004.
ps- Although certain sections of the fort are always open to the public, but when i went the fort was closed and under restoration, thanks to the World Monuments Fund, The Indian Govt and The State Govt, hence no one is around. I though managed to sneak past the guard and capture some clicks :)

Calendula (common name: pot marigold) is a genus of plants that belong to the family Asteraceae. There are about 20 species of plants that come under the genus Calendula. Calendula is herbaceous, in the sense that the leaves and the stem above the level of the soil die at the end of the growing season.
Some species of calendula die in one year (annual). Some other species live more than two years (perennial). The genus is native to the region stretching eastward from Macaronesia (a group of islands in the North Atlantic around the Europe-North Africa region) to Iran, with the whole Mediterranean region in between.
Its common name marigold is likely to owe its origin to the Virgin Mary. Gardening connoisseurs consider the marigold to be one of the best flowers that can be grown in a garden because they are rugged and not at all finicky about where they grow. However, the ideal location for their growth is a sunny place with a soil rich in substances favorable to plant growth and that is well-drained.
Pot marigolds are grown as herbs. Marigolds are thought to be edible and they are used to naturally color salads.

1921 Fiat 501 S Corsa Racer, imaged early in the morning.
"The Maharaja of Patiala ordered this Fiat after seeing a similar 1.5-liter Fiat race at Monza in 1920. He requested artillery wheels, but the car arrived in India with wire wheels too weak for the local roads, so it was sent back to Turin for wheel replacement. The Maharaja was a keen supporter of the British Empire, contributing to the war effort during the Great War and being involved with many British charities. He was equally well known for his many accomplishments in India, including captaining the Indian cricket team in 1911. He was married 10 times and had 88 children, but was perhaps most famous for his passion for motor cars. He had 44 Rolls-Royces, all specially built for him. The Fiat 501S Corsa was among a few non-Rolls-Royce motor cars in his collection. Its subsequent history is not well known, but in the 1970s it was found in very bad condition with a tree growing through the cockpit. Its current owner has completely restored the car and its first visit to the United States was its attendance at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance." (thanks to Conceptcarz)
The Fiat Motor Company was founded by Giovanni Agnelli in 1899. The name FIAT is an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino. The Fiat 501, the first model built by Fiat after World War I, was produced from 1919-26. Available in 4 door Sedan and 2 or 4 door Cabriolet. Fiat introduced the S and SS sports versions of the 501 in 1921.
WDP3 15506R at Bathinda on 1st February 2023. This is one of the very few WDP3A's that received the half life rebuilding at Patiala. It should be good for another 15 years service. I doubt it'll last more than a couple of years.
Shimla Scandal Point : The Shimla Scandal Point is a well known tourist spot. This place derives its name from the story of the flirtatious king of Patiala. The spot is found at the end of the Mall road of Shimla and is considered to be the highest point of the Mall area.
Popular lore is that the king of Patiala had a crush over the daughter of the Viceroy of India. One day while she was taking a stroll in this place, the King of Patiala kidnapped her. From then onwards the place came to be known as the Scandal Point of Shimla.
Tourists assemble here every day to hear the age old story of the place from the guides. They remain busy in taking snaps of the place as well as the statue of freedom fighter Lala Rajpat Rai that has been erected at the place.
