The Property — Ananta Hall

Cronache di Patiala
Patiala was founded in 1763 by Baba Ala Singh, a Jat Sikh chieftain, and grew into a princely state under the Phulkian dynasty. Its architecture mixes Sikh fortifications with Mughal-inspired gardens and a splash of IndoSaracenic pomp, best seen in the Old Moti Bagh Palace. The city was a major polo and armoury centre in the British Raj. Today it’s known for its rich music tradition (Patiala gharana) and as the gateway to the Malwa region.
