Moti Bagh Palace is a palace in Patiala. The old quarters were built in the 1840s by the Maharaja of Patiala. It was expanded in 1920s under the supervision of Sir Ganga Ram during the reign of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh. After independence, the Government of India took over the premises, and later converted it into a museum, a taxidermy gallery, and the North Zone Cultural Centre.

The National Institute of Sports (NIS) Patiala is situated in its East wing,[1] where the annual Patiala Heritage festival is celebrated. New Moti bagh is residence of Maharaja Patiala Captain Amarinder Singh.
