In 1931, the 27 year old Nawab of Bahawalpur
built a large European-style summer residence for himself up in the
cool Himalayan jungles of Kangra district. He laid out lush gardens,
built a glass pleasure pavilion and a mosque and christened his country
palace Al Hilal (The Crescent Moon).
The Nawab decided to settle in Pakist0an and the grand property went
to the Punjab government. Maharani Tara Devi of Kashmir, who had been
raised in the Kangra Valley, approached the Punjab government for the
evacuee property and finally acquired it in 1950. The glass pleasure
pavilion was converted into a temple and the new home was renamed Taragarh.
The Maharani moved between her Jammu palace and Taragarh. In 1971, Dr.
Karan Singh, Maharani Tara Devi's only son, decided to convert his property
into a hotel.
Taragarh Palace is situated on a 15 acre forested estate surrounded
by tea gardens in the Kangra valley, one of the most scenic and unexplored
areas of Himachal Pradesh. Located at a height of 1000 metres Taragarh
Palace is at the foot of the Dhauladhar mountains offering a magnificent
view of the snow capped peaks. The Kangra valley is one of the most
scenic and unexplored areas of Himachal Pradesh today, and the Palace,
surrounded by tea grdens, offers splendid views of snowy peaks.
