Ajit Bhawan is nestled between the Umaid Bhawan Palace that sits on a hill and the Mehrangarh Fort that towers over Jodhpur, as a guardian of the city. It is an ancestral home steeped in history with a contemporary footprint.
Ajit in the Hindi language means – The invincible and Bhawan is the synonym to home. True to its name, this architectural grandeur built in 1927 for Major General Maharaj Dhiraj Sir Ajit Singh Ji, the younger brother of Maharaja Shri Umaid Singh of erstwhile Jodhpur State. The palace is still home to the royal family and is open to all as well.
