Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum Travel Guide

Built by Maharaja Umaid Singh (1929 – 1942 ) and named after him, this exquisite Palace is also known as Chittar Palace. It is a splendid example of Indo-Colonial architecture of the 30s. A unique feature of this palace is the fact that the manually chiselled sandstone blocks have been put together in a special system of interlocking. There is no mortar binding. A portion of the palace has been converted into a hotel, the other remains on view to visitors in the form of an excellent museum which houses model aeroplanes, weapons, antique clocks, bob watches, priceless crockery and hunting trophies. Both sections retain the ambience of royal splendour.
