The former residence of the Yaduvanshi rulers, the magnificent city palace stands in the centre of the walled city which retains a lot of its historical charm with winding streets lined with shops selling lacquer work bangles and local handicrafts. The palace built in the 14th century is a massive structure, with beautiful murals, stone carvings and lattice work which have been carefully restored by the owners. Among the numerous temples within the palace itself isthe famous Madan Mohan ji temple, a popular pilgrimage site. The evening aarti ceremony at the temple is an unforgettable experience with its elaborate rituals and the depth of feeling attached to it. Camel cart rides from Bhanwar Vilas to the palace are a popular option.
Having visited India many times and lived in South Asia I’m amazed that Id never heard of this palace before I stayed in Bhanwar villas which is where the Royal family moved after this huge building became unsustainable as a home. The old palace is fantastic and has been really well restored with amazing architecture and everything from tigers cages to the royal court,bed chambers and wrestling arena. Include in your trip to Jaipur and Agra.
