• The foundation stone of Rajmandir was laid in 1966 by Shri Mohanlal Sukhadia (Chief Minister of Rajasthan). The building took its shape under the guidance of Shri Mehtab Chand Golcha. It took ten long years to build this large size, meringue-shaped auditorium and turning a dream into reality. This modern age marvel was inaugrated on 1st June 1976 Tuesday, by then Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Shri Hari Dev Joshi.Famous architect of that time Shri W.M. Namjoshi designed Raj Mandir in a Art Moderne Style (Streamline modern or late Art Deco). His creativity and Golcha’s and Surana’s perception began a new era in cinema. It was the time when architectural aspect was also given importance.It was the appeal and glamour of the Rajmandir that it was considered as the finest architecture building in the history of cinema halls and was given the title “Pride of Asia”.Interior and Exterior of this single screened talkie was done with great concern and care. With their elaborate superfluities and remarkable architecture, Rajmandir represents one of the most outstanding creativity. An architectural venture in itself, its each design is a remarkably splendid sample of unbelievable artistry, covering a sense of mystery, deception and art. Be it is the “Nine Stars” on the exterior of the Rajmandir or “revoloving panel” in interior, each has its own story and significance.
  While Nine stars on the exterior signifies the nine gem stone and highlights the occupation of the Surana’s Family, Sky format chandeliers graced with stars on its surrounding reminds the dreams of Shri Mehtab chand Golcha. All these are the perfect example of master craftsmanship and elegance.
