The Palace, built during the latter part of 19th Century, on the site of the fort that witnessed a long drawn siege and war by the Marathas, led by Chemnaji Bhonsle, is the residence of the Raja of Dhenkanal and his family.
Late autumn and winter is the best time to visit Dhenkanal, between October and
March. A mild winter and sunny days greet visitors during that period. A visit during
the monsoons is a treat for the adventurous.
