== History ==<br />
The construction of the palace was initially started in 1910 by Maharaja [[Pratap Singh of Jammu and Kashmir|Pratap Singh]] as a summer residence, but it was under his successor, Maharaja [[Hari Singh]]'s initiative that the major impetus to the construction of the palace was given.<ref name="India Today - 25Aug2011 - One hundred years of splendour">{{cite news|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/one-hundred-years-of-splendour/1/149122.html|title=One hundred years of splendour|last=Saxton|first=Aditi|date=25 August 2011|work=[[India Today]]|accessdate=24 November 2011}}</ref> The Gulab Bhavan was built under the guidance of Sh.
