Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur
Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur
|
 |
 |
|

Maharaja Umaid Singhji who built this palace was fascinated
with western lifestyles so he marshalled the services of a well-known
Edwardian architect, Henry Vaughan Lanchester, a creditable
equal of Edward Lutyens (architect of New Delhi) to construct
a three hundred and forty seven roomed Umaid Palace.
This was to become India last of the great palaces and the biggest
private residence in the world. Spectacular Central Rotunda,
the cupola rises to a hundred and five feet high; the Throne
Room with its exquisite Ramayana murals; an elegant wood-panelled
library, and even a private museum; an indoor swimming pool,
a Billiards Room, tennis courts and unique marble squash courts
makes Umaid Bhawan Palace is unabashedly the most magnificent.
The palace was also built with superficial intentions of providing
employment to famine stricken farmers. The Palace now is a five
star deluxe palace hotel. The museum of the palace is highly
recommended for its display of weapons, an array of stuffed
leopards, a huge banner presented by Queen Victoria and an incredible
collection of clocks.
This is known as Umaid Bhawan Palace because of the particular
type of sandstone used, to build it - which is not weathered.
Portions of the Umaid palace have been converted into a hotel
and a museum.
Located in the Thar Desert, Jodhpur is known for its impressive
fortified bastions, specially those of Mehrangarh Fort, which
has been a witness for many battles and is associated closely
with the history of the region.
Being a part of the desert triangle, and venue of Marwar Festival
it is also covered by the famous "Palace on Wheels",
a super luxurious (emperor style) rail-cum-road package tour.
The city again is of high tourist attraction and has all basic
amenities for both domestic and foreign tourists. Hotels from
Super Deluxe ranging to low budge can be checked in. It is well
connected by rail, road and air to the city as it again witnesses
high flow of tourist traffic in winters.
