The stunning Umaid Bhawan Palace, was built in the early 20th-century with a purpose; to give employment to the Maharaja of Jodhpur’s famine stricken populace and to build a landmark in Jodhpur. Today, Umaid Bhawan is a blend of eastern and western architectural influences. And, though the Maharajah, still has his own private wing and grounds, the rest of the imposing royal residence is turned into a luxury hotel. You can now enjoy the luxuries once exclusive for the royals.
Mihir Garh is a luxurious boutique hotel, set on the wide open sandy plains of Marwar, south of Jodhpur. The breath-taking beauty of a sacred dune, dedicated to the local warrior God, became a childhood inspiration to Sidharth and later a dream project with his wife Rashmi. Together their dream took a physical form, as hundreds of craftsmen and artisans began to build a sandcastle ‘Fortress of the Sun’. Today, this place in the wilderness celebrates the rich culture of Marwar.
