Overview
Wanting a modern palace for his individual use, Maharaja Umed Singh II settled for not anything but the best. He commissioned Sir Swinton Jacob, a famous officer of the Royal Engineers in the British Army, to propose the building. Plentiful supply of white Khimach and Pink Sandstone from nearby quarries helped, while Italian marble, among other things, had to be imported for flooring. There was more to the imposing building apart from a peculiar clock tower –Separate zenana (ladies') wing, Durbar Hall (investiture room), Edwardian Drawing Room, Library, Billiards Room, the Banquet Hall and even a cinema hall. In 1930, the Umed Bhawan Palace was distended to provide accommodation for Maharaj Kumar Bhim Singh and his bride.   More >>
