  • The Arrival Lounge at Jodhpur Airport Has Two Young, Good Looking Women Wel- Coming People Who Walk from the Plane Since the Airport Is a Small One
    The arrival lounge at Jodhpur airport has two young, good looking women wel- coming people who walk from the plane since the airport is a small one. For a moment I am amazed at the famed Rajasthani hospitality till I realise that the welcome is for the guests coming for a mega Marwari wedding of two NRI ty- coons which is going to be held in true, Ham Aapke Hain Kaun style at the Umaidh Bhawan Palace hotel! The drive from the airport to the hotel is a short one and one doesn’t really get to see the city. But the wide, divided roads are certainly noticeable- a feature that is evident in all of Jodhpur except the old city. The city is a fairly large one, being the gateway to Marwar as also to the Thar desert. We take an auto to the Umaidh Bhawan Palace. The Umaidh Bhawan Palace (and hotel) is the largest private residence in the world. It was built during the 1930s, partly as a royal NREGA scheme during the famine by Maharaja Umaidh Singh. Built on a hill, it has an imposing view of the whole city of Jodhpur. The palace has been divided into three parts- the main part is a super-luxury hotel which regularly features in the Best Hotels of the world list. Then one part has been retained by the present Maharaja as his pri- vate residence and small part onto a side has been converted into a museum. The museum is basically a collection of some of the stuff used by the royal family over the years- dinner sets, weapons, furniture and other royal paraphernalia.
