India - Jodhpur Luxury Hotels
Umaid Bhawan Palace Jodhpur
Umaid Bhawan Palace India
At the edge of the Thar Desert, the imperial city of Jodhpur echoes with tales of antiquity in the emptiness of the desert. The massive 15th century AD Mehrangarh Fort looms on the top of a rocky hill, soaring above the plains.
Jodhpur is the second largest city of the state of Rajasthan. It has been drawing the attention of tourists from all over the world. Standing as the sentinel of the country's western border, Jodhpur is famous for its magnificent forts and palaces. It has a typical desert climate, dry and hot. The ideal time to visit this place is the period between November and March.
The Umaid Bhawan Palace is a remarkable example of the western and eastern aesthetics combined together. The high dome of the palace is a fine example of Renaissance architecture while beautiful murals picked up from Rajasthani folklore adorn the huge walls of the palace.
The Palace houses a magnificent wood panelled library. The present owner has divided the palace into three sections; a private residence, a luxury hotel, and a museum displaying an array of stuffed leopards, pictures, arms and swords of Jodhpur's royal heritage.
The Maharaja of Jodhpur along with his family, which include the heir to the Jodhpur throne, occupies a large section of this magnificent palace. This three hundred and forty seven roomed palace was the largest private residence in the world.
