Maharaja
Umed Singh II, ruling king of Kota in the early 1900s,
who resided in the medieval fort within the city of
Kota, decided that he wanted a modern palace for his
personal use. He
commissioned Sir Swinton Jacob, an officer of the Royal
Engineers in the British Army to undertake the
conception and implementation of this project and in
1905, the WelcomHeritage Umed Bhawan Palace, built in the prevalent
Indo-Sarcenic style, was constructed. The
city of Kota, on the east bank of the Chambal river, is
best known for its finely woven Kota Doria saris or
alternatively for its miniature paintings where the
subject |
|
|
| matter
was predominantly the hunts in the once thickly wooded forests
of the area. |

Accommodation
This Indo-Sarcenic,
early 20th century palace has retained all the
clean-cut solidity of the Victorian influence
mingled with subtle Rajasthani trends as well as
the trappings of royal comfort and aplomb. While
the decorated ceilings and the marble corridors
speak of its regal origins, the heirlooms and
hunting trophies speak of the royal glories and
lifestyles of the time.
