Prag Mahal is named after Rao Pragmalji, who commissioned it and construction began in 1865.

The palace had two floors; the first floor had the Audience Hall, the Pleasure Hall, the Hall of Mirrors, and the State Apartments, and the second floor had the ante-chamber, Darbar (Court) Hall, and Marriage Hall.

The construction of the palace started in 1920 and was completed in 1929. The palace was built with red sandstone.
