In the heart of Gujarat, the Laxmi Vilas Palace stands as an architectural marvel and a testament to the legacy of the Gaekwads of Baroda. This sprawling estate, owned by the Gaekwad family, has now claimed the title of the world's largest private residence, dwarfing even the famed Buckingham Palace in England. The palace spans an astonishing area of 3,04,92,000 sq ft. At the helm of this majestic estate is HRH Samarjitsinh Gaekwad and his wife Radhikaraje Gaekwad, steering the legacy of the Gaekwad dynasty into the modern era. Their custodianship of this colossal residence adds a contemporary chapter to its storied past. According to Housing.com, Buckingham Palace spans 828,821 square feet, making the Laxmi Vilas Palace an unparalleled architectural giant.

However, when it comes to sheer size, the Laxmi Vilas Palace outshines even this symbol of modern opulence. Antilia's footprint covers an area of 48,780 square feet, a fraction of the immense space embraced by the Gaekwad's residence. As the news spread on Instagram, netizens flooded the comments. One wrote, “The Royal Maratha Family.” Another added, “And here I thought my house of 2000 sq ft was diff to manage and too big.” A third added, “Pretty sure they are having house tour every week to memorise the map.”
