Umaid Bhawan Palace (Hindi: उम्मैद भवन पैलेस), located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, is one of the world's largest private residences. The Taj Hotel manages a part of the palace. It's named after Maharaja Umaid Singh, grandfather of the present owner, Gaj Singh.
The Rathores, who controlled most of the Marwar in Western Rajasthan, including Bikaner, another desert kingdom, were ruling Jodhpur's Kingdom. The clan's lineage goes back to Rama, the Hindu epic Ramayana's mythical hero, to the sun god Surya himself.
There are 347 rooms in the palace, with a museum and a collection of vintage cars.
Famous Celebrated Weddings: For rich and celebrated couples planning to get married, the palace is also a first choice. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, as well as Arun Nayyar and Elizabeth Hurley are some of the famous weddings that have taken place there.
In addition to its historical and cultural significance, Umaid Bhawan Palace is also a luxury heritage hotel offering guests an opportunity to experience the royal lifestyle first hand. With its luxurious Rajput suites, exquisite dining options, and world class spa facilities, the hotel offers an immersive experience in hospitality.
Today, this grand pink stone place in Jodhpur stands as a beautiful example of Rajasthan's rich heritage and royal past. When you're in Jodhpur, one must see this palace.
