Jodhpur on the Edge...Umed Bhavan Palace


Umed Bhavan Palace

Our 15 min ride from the main Jodhpur city will take you to the Umed Bhavan Palace. Seeing this place first thing that comes to your mind is richness, royal lifestyle and discipline. The peace, calmness and the cleaniness is what posseses. It a huge palace named after Maharaja Umaid Singh.

The palace is made of over 300 rooms and is the residence of the royal family of Jodhpur. Its got a beautiful museum which exhibits ancient swords, cutlerys, some beautiful miniature engines and ancient clocks.
Its got a huge chowk which I assume the royal family must be using for their leisure time. Besidea its a perfect pictorial place, you just float along with the pace of the palace. Once you are out from there you will be welcomed by this huge garden facing the palace.
We were lucky enough to see a peacock spreading its feather all over, awesome sight. We got ourselves busy by getting ourselves clicked and building some great memories. Once out from there a sandstorm not that strong hit the place. Its was for first

time that we actually experienced something like it. Even that was something to enjoy & realise the different potential of this unpredictable and ever loving nature.
