General information
LocationTonk, Rajasthan, India
OwnerNawab Mohammed Ibrahim Ali Khan

Sunehri Kothi (Mansion of Gold) is a magnificent hall in the city of Tonk in the Indian state of Rajasthan.[1]

The hall is within the old palace complex, whose walls and ceilings are one sumptuous expanse of enamel mirror-work, gilt and painted glass illuminated through stained-glass windows from Belgium. The entire effect is that of an exquisite piece of enamel jewellery blown up to the size of a hall.

It was built by Nawab Mohammed Ibrahim Ali Khan (1867-1930), the Nawab of Tonk, for poetry recitals, dance and music.
