The Umaid Bhawan Palace, built using a particular type of sandstone that is not weathered, is the largest private royal residence in the world. The Throne Room with exquisite Ramayana murals, an elegant wood-paneled library and unique marble squash courts are some of the features that contribute to the popularity of the Umaid Bhawan Palace. A part of the palace has been converted into a luxury heritage hotel that offers traditional Rajasthani hospitality to the guests. The museum in the palace showcases an incredible collection of clocks, weapons and stuffed leopards. This palace, along with the Mehrangarh Fort, is a major tourist attraction of Jodhpur.
