ajit-bhawan-palace-01Ajit Bhawan Palace was exclusively built for Maharaja Ajit singh, the younger brother of maharajah of Jodhpur. The palace is set in the serene desert of Rajasthan. It can be called an oasis of hospitality and the Rajput charm. The Royal family of Maharaja Ajit Singh who still live here has personally kept the hospitable ambience in the Palace.

Ajit Bhawan offers you the elegance and royality of the past, with the modern comforts of a classic heritage hotel. Antiques from various periods and photographs from the family archives create an ambience that suggests a private home rather than a hotel room. Other facilities available at the palace are swimming pool, barbecue restaurant and village safari.

Ajit Bhawan Palace is an impressive red sandstone structure of 1940’s with arched windows, carved balconies and cupolas adding to its rugged beauty. A very interesting feature of the Palace is the courtyard that is built in the shape of a a quadrangle with exquisitely carved lattice work.

The Royal family also undertakes village excursions where the guests get a close view of the local Rajasthani folk life. Rajasthani delicacies and the traditional folk music make the trip very enjoyable. The tour includes visit to the weavers, shoemakers and other local craftsmen which makes it all the more interesting.
