Also known as the Ranjit Institute of Poly-Radio Therapy, the Solarium
was built by Jam Shri Ranjitsinhji during his rule by bringing in an expert
from France. This slowly revolving tower provides full daylong sunlight
for the treatment of skin diseases. With the destruction of two similar
solaria in France during World War II, this is probably now the only one
of its kind in the world, and certainly in Asia.
It is open to visitors after working hours.
