Laxmi Vilas Palace in Gujarat, owned by the Gaekwad family of Baroda, is renowned as the largest private residence in the world and it is larger than Buckingham Palace in size. The Gaekwads, former rulers of Baroda, still hold a place of great respect among the local people. The family is currently led by HRH Samarjitsinh Gaekwad and his wife Radhikaraje Gaekwad.
Radhikaraje Gaekwad, born on July 19, 1978, hails from the Wankaner state of Gujarat. Her father, Dr MK Ranjitsinh Jhala, gave up his royal title to serve as an IAS officer.
According to Housing.com, Laxmi Vilas Palace covers an astounding 3,04,92,000 square feet, dwarfing Buckingham Palace’s 8,28,821 square feet. For comparison, Mukesh Ambani's Antilia, the world’s most expensive residence valued at Rs 15,000 crore, spans 48,780 square feet. The luxurious Laxmi Vilas Palace, featuring over 170 rooms, was built by Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III in 1890, at a cost of about GBP 180,000 at the time. The palace also includes a golf course.
Radhikaraje Gaekwad, an avid reader and writer, earned her Master's degree in Indian History from Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University. Prior to her marriage to Maharaja Samarjitsinh Gaekwad in 2002, she worked as a journalist. Samarjitsinh Gaekwad was crowned Maharaja of Baroda in a traditional ceremony at Laxmi Vilas Palace in 2012.
