Built between 1928 and 1943, the Umaid Bhawan Palace is the world s sixth largest private residence, and is constructed from the same palm court marble that was used in the construction of the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra. Named after Maharaja Umaid Singh, the palace continues to remain the home of the erstwhile royal family of Jodhpur, and is one of the last remaining great palaces of India.
The first sight of the Umaid Bhawan Palace, located at the highest point in Jodhpur. Majestic domes and turrets coupled with the panoramic view of the city and softly undulating sand dunes that merge into the distant horizon. With the vast emptiness of the desert on one side and the famed Blue City on the other, the Umaid Bhawan a living palace, is the enduring legacy of a rich past and a symbol of modern Jodhpur.
