Providence has created the Maharajas to offer a spectacle to the world,” wrote Rudyard Kipling, author of ‘The Book of the Virgins’. In the year, 1947, the Maharajas of Indian states went out to enjoy Shikar (the art of hunting) in deluxe Rolls Royce, entrusted art, furniture, jewels & the most admired European companies & practiced hospitality with banquets for their guests. For centuries, they lived in walled fortresses or palaces with terraces & gardens, with separate wings for women & servants. It is now possible to share this life of refinement with Luxury Hotels in Rajasthan.
The Maharajas have opened their palaces, hunting camps & summer residences, whose maintenance & restoration was too costly for them, & live with the guests, with whom they share the history of their family. They have changed hedonism for sustainable tourism & eccentricities for the restoration of artistic heritage & worked for the development of the community. In Rajasthan, northeastern India, lies Umaid Bhawan Palace, the sixth largest private residence in the world. Part of this sandstone fort in Jodhpur is a hotel of the prestigious chain Taj Hotels. Decorated in ‘art deco’ style, it includes ten acres of gardens with peacocks, a museum of the royal family & an underground pool. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9807603
