Baggi Khana (Carriage House) is a museum in the City Palace complex where a collection of old carriages, palanquins and European cabs adopted as baggis to Indian situations are on display. The baggi which attracts attention is the one gifted by Prince of Wales to the Maharaja in 1876, called the Victoria baggi. Also on display here are the mahadol, a palanquin with a single bamboo bar that was used to carry the priests and a rahta (chariot) that was used for carrying the idols of Hindu gods in procession on festive occasions.
