Timeline
The Maharaja was at a young age at that time, as was Muthesius who was just a couple of years older.
The work outside and inside was done in the late art deco and international style of modern architecture.
Maharajadhiraj Raj Rajeshwar Sawai Shri Sir Yeshwant Rao II Holkar XIV Bahadur (6September 1908 – 5December 1961) was the Maharaja of Indore (Holkar State, now in present-day Madhya Pradesh) belonging to the Holkar dynasty of the Marathas.
With his first wife, he became known for a life of elegance and extravagance in the 1920s and 30s.
He was educated at the Cheam School, Charterhouse and Christ Church, Oxford.
