Bhawan Palace
Umaid
Bhawan palace is a classic example of indo-colonial art deco style of
the 1930's. The only palace to be constructed in the 20th century, it
was a monumental task performed by three thousand artisans 14 years to
create this heritage wonder. a unique feature of this palace is how the
hand-chiseled sandstone blocks have been put together in an interlocking
pattern without any mortar binding. This even more amazing because the
palace is large - 195 meters long and 103 meters wide.
The imposing
entrance leads one to lobby adorned with black Belgian marble, flanked
by two impressive banquet halls - the Rathore durbar and the Marwar
hall. Crystal lamps, mounted shikar trophies in the palm court lead to
the spectacular 56-metre high center dome hall. a pair of polished
marble stairs lead to the maharajah's private apartments and regal
suites.
Rooms are decorated with original furniture. Conference hall,
bar, private auditorium, health club and sports facilities are
available. The palace museum with its fascinating collection of art
facts of the royal age and the palace library are the added attraction
here.
Accomodation: 95 rooms with restuarants .
Address: Umaid bhawan palace, Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
