Umaid Bhawan Exclusive
Jodhpur
is a city that is a fascinating blend of forts, temples, Havelis (stately homes)
and palaces. Standing proud like a silent sentinel at the edge of the Khar desert,
the city is a gateway to a natural wonderland. A world of undulating sand dunes
and rocky terrain, dotted with shrubs and trees
Standing on the edge of the vast Thar desert, Jodhpur is an ancient city that
has withstood the ravages of time. Five hundred and forty years after it was
founded, it still holds its head up high, reminiscent of its founder, a proud
Rajput chieftain. The cityscape is dotted with a multitude of blue roofs, thus
earning the local title of " The Blue City "
Umaid Bhawan Palace:
At the start of the 20th century, a western–style palace was built to help
people of Jodhpur during famine. It took 16 years for the palace to take shape.
This stately mansion with nearly 350 rooms and an imposing central dome has
the distinction of having been one of the largest private residences of the
world. The opulent edifice in sand stone is now partly the residence of the
descendants of Jodhpur Kingdom, while the rest of the monument is home to star
hotel and a museum. The museum houses a rare collection of rocks, watches, fine
china, ornate mirrored furniture, glass and crystal ware and photographs
The
Taj Hari Mahal, is spread over 6 acres of lush, landscaped gardens and located
close to the city centre. The architecture of the hotel is a blend of motifs
from the Mandore region and contemporary styling, giving it an air of elegance.
