Architecture with endemic flavour: Ambikapur palace

The newly built Railway Station building 
of our town 'Ambikapur' (India) 
has taken it's architectural inspiration from an age-old 'Raghunath Palace' building of 
this princely state 
known as 'Surguja' 
of then British colonial era
which is cool as if taking you on a tour of 
past forgotten periods of history ..
