The Story

The Palace

The last of India’s fabled royal palaces, Umaid Bhawan Palace was created by Maharaja Umaid Singh (r. 1918-1947). From its formal opening dinner in 1943, the palace wove webs of magic, with its soaring central dome, acres of gardens, exquisite subterranean pool, and the sparkling elegance of its Art Deco ambience.

The Shop

The Palace Collection Shop, just off the central rotunda, was created by the current Maharaja, H.H. Gaj Singh of Jodhpur/Marwar, and his family, to share the memories and the magic with you. Contemporary designers and traditional master crafts persons create for us truly the most beautiful things in the realm.
