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.
