 Ajit
Bhawan
Ajit Bhawan was exclusively built for
maharaja Ajit singh, the younger brother of maharajah of Jodhpur.
It is an impressive red sandstone
structure of 1940's with arched windows, carved balconies and
cupolas adding to its rugged beauty. The most interesting feature in the
building is the courtyard-a quadrangle with exquisitely carved lattice
work.
This area comes to life during meal times when Rajasthani
delicacies are served by turbaned men and veiled women. Traditional folk
music makes the meals more enjoyable. Lying behind the palatial Ajit
Bhawan is a charming village complex. Nestling in a rustic and lush
green setting are bungalows named after the months and zodiac signs of
the Indian calendar.
Each cottage has been furnished in ethnic
Rajasthani style and no two cottages are alike. Well-maintained lawns
and thick shady trees make this village complex a haven for birds and
humans alike. It really an oasis in the desert city. The family
undertakes village excursions in which the visitors get a close view of
the local Rajasthani folk life.
The tour includes visit to the weavers, shoemakers and other local
craftsmen which makes it all the more interesting. Other facilities
available at the palace are swimming pool, barbecue restaurant and
village safari.
