Rambagh Palace, Jaipur.
 Rajasthan evokes images of
erstwhile royalty – polo-playing princes and beautiful
princesses who captured their hearts. The history of
Rajasthan – or ‘Rajputana’ as it was o nce called – is
rich with legendary tales of love and valour
For nearly two centuries,
the Rambagh Palace has been home to generations of
royals. Built in 1835 on a modest scale for the queen’s favourite handmaiden Kesar Badaran, it was later
refurbished as a royal guesthouse and hunting lodge. In
1925, Rambagh was converted into a palace, and became
the residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur.
The ‘Jewel of Jaipur’ as it
is fondly called, remained the home of the Jaipur royal
family until 1957, when it was first converted into a
luxury hotel by Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II. But it
wasn’t until 1972 that Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces
took over the reins. It is now the ‘jewel in the crown’
among the authentic palaces of the Taj in India.
In the finest tradition of
Rajput hospitality, the Rambagh Palace offers its guests
a taste of royal living – a luxury and extravagance that
was once the sole preserve of kings. Its elegantly
appointed rooms, marbled corridors and majestic gardens
echo with history, and every corner has a story to tell.
