Sprawling over 26 acres of verdant
greens and surrounded by an enviable
expansion of flora, the Palace Umaid Bhawan, built in gold-colored
sandstone, is the epitome of Indo-Colonial
architecture prevalent in those
times.

using a fine blend of eastern
and western styles of architecture.

rooms and has been the residence
of the Maharajas of Jodhpur for
a long time.
The dome of the monument is more
than 105 feet in height. The usage
of Art-Deco style in the interiors
is simply fascinating. Lavish
fittings and extraordinary furniture
with ornate woodwork will amaze
tourists on travel to Jodhpur.
Known to be one of the biggest
tourist attractions in Jodhpur,
a part of the Palace Umaid Bhawan
is now run as a five-star hotel
by the Taj Group of Hotels. The
other part of the palace houses
a museum containing interesting
artifacts from a bygone era.
Known to be the most splendid
of Jodhpur hotels, Jodhpur Umaid Bhawan Palace
