The founder of the Mahal, Anoop Srivastava, told reporters that the museum was a dream of 87-year-old popular jeweller Dr Rajnikath Shah, who is based out of New York, USA.

“It is basically his collection. He visited Jaipur Wax Museum at Nahargarh Fort and taking inspiration from that, he proposed the idea of this palace to me,” Srivastava was quoted as saying by ANI.

The museum also has a history attached to it as it has been built after restoring a 200-year-old Haveli, which was earlier known as the ‘Cheeta ki Haudi Barood Khana’. The museum is said to have taken approximately two and a half years to complete and it will open to public in June, 2022.

Reports suggest that most of the gemstones displayed in the museum are are original. And, the people behind it claim that there is no other museum in the world to house so many gemstones under one roof. The museum will also offer jewellery lovers a chance to see Ulka Pind, Ramsetu ka Patthar, Shark tooth converted to a diamond, and dinosaur’s excreta converted to a diamon.

The tourist spot will also offer zip-line activities and a few more adventurous activities in its bid to be a family entertainment hub.
