Sprawled over a whopping 26 acres on the beatific Chittar
hills in Jodhpur, the enchanting Umaid Bhawan Palace
was constructed by Maharaja Umed Singhji. The fact that
it took 16 years to complete the construction of this
mammoth structure adds a romantic appeal to this lavishly
carved royal abode, a part of which has been converted
into a heritage hotel.
Referred to as the Chittar Mahal by the people of Jodhpur,
the Umaid Bhawan Palace was constructed without the
use of mortar and cement. Uniformly chiseled sandstone
blocks were joined to each other by interlocking.
The massive Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur has been
divided into 3 main sections, the heritage hotel, royal
abode and the museum. Tour the Umaid Bhawan Palace museum
