India Umaid Bhawan

India Umaid Bhawan | Urbane Nomads

Overview

Perched high above the desert capital of Jodhpur, Umaid Bhawan Palace is the last of the great palaces of India and one of the largest residences in the world – set amidst 26 acres of lush gardens.

Designed by renowned Edwardian architect Henry Lanchester, the palace is a blend of eastern and western architectural influences. Its majestic 105-foot high cupola is influenced by the Renaissance, while the towers draw inspiration from Rajput tradition. The lavish interiors with gilt furniture and elegant artwork follow the Art Deco style, complemented by the exotic murals of the self-exiled Polish artist Stefan Norblin.

Figures well as part of a luxury travel itinerary through India and spectacularly as a base for a luxury Indian honeymoon.

This itinerary, designed to coincide with the Pushkar Camel Festival (but works equally well during other times of the year), combines the highlights of India's Golden Triangle with a horse trek through the remote villages of Rajasthan, visiting the famously ornate Jain temples and picnics recalling the glamour of a bygone era, whilst staying in a dazzling assortment of accommodation choices- the former hunting lodge of a Maharani, a resplendent Art Deco palace or former Maharaja's residences.
