History
Raj Mandir Cinema interior
It opened on 1 June 1976 with the film "Charas". It was designed by architect W. M. Namjoshi in Art Moderne style (Streamline Moderne or late Art Deco). Known for its large size as well as opulent and meringue interiors, Raj Mandir remains an important part of the tourist circuit, and thus usually remains full despite its size. The Bhuramal Rajmal Surana group, a prominent Jaipur jewelry house, owns and operates the cinema. The nine stars on the exterior signify nine gemstones in the Navaratna style, an homage to the owners' jewelry house.
