These palaces of bahawalpur are in delipadated conditions. The current nawab has lost the will to restore or doesn't have the means. Otherwise the Indians nawabs and maharaja still have kept their palaces upto date. And use as national heritage sites as museums or gardens etc.
Government should do something to restore these several bahawalpur castles. They are piece of art.
Certainly something that can define or give direction to the Pakistani architect in future to develop Pakistani architecture.
