Maharaja Umaid Singhji was very fascinated by western
lifestyle. So, he hired the services of a well-known Edwardian
architect, Henry Vaughan Lanchester to get Umaid Bhavan palace
constructed. A part of the palace now houses the Umaid Bhavan Palace of
Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
The museum is very well maintained, displaying an exclusive range of
items belonging to the Maharaja and the royal family. Rajasthan's famous

items ranging from weapons to an array of stuffed leopards to antiques
to some fascinating crockery to various trophies. Also exhibited is a
huge banner presented by Queen Victoria and an amazing collection of
clocks.
