Laxmi Vilas Palace, Bharatpur

The Tradition at Laxmi Vilas Palace Set amidst a sprawling 50 acres, and surrounded by undulating, yellow mustard fields, the Laxmi Vilas Palace was built for Raja Raghunath Singh, the younger brother of the then Bharatpur ruler, Maharaja Ram Singh. An eclectic and lively fusion of Rajput and Mughal architecture, the Palace was earlier called Raghunath Niwas though locals always preferred to call it Kakaji Ki Kothi. Its single entrance, a massive richly carved sandstone archway intended to allow the ladies of the Royal family of Bharatpur to conduct themselves away from the praying eyes of men and outsiders. Spacious and airy rooms opened out into the inner courtyard with its marble fountain. Enchanting cupolas and sunny courtyard completed the pretty picture.For almost a hundred years, the Laxmi Vilas Palace has been a prime witness to, and a participant in almost every eventful happening that took place in the princely state of Bharatpur - royal weddings, affairs of the court and royal duck shoots. Laxmi Vilas Palace has played host to such dignitaries as the Duke of Edinburgh, Shah of Iran, King of Nepal and Shah of Afghan. There was of course enough to entertain those who entered the portals of the Palace. Feasts and festivities lasted several days. And the kitchen ensured that only gourmet cuisine arrived at the dining table.The same traditions of hospitality have been kept alive till the present day. In 1994, a decision was taken to convert the Laxmi Vilas Palace into a hotel. The Laxmi Vilas Palace Has been operational ever since.

Bharatpur, an erstwhile princely state of the Jat rulers, was founded by the great Maharaja Suraj Mal, who also once conquered Delhi. Maharaja Suraj Mal built the fort at Bharatpur as also the beautiful palaces and gardens at Deeg. The marshes of Keoladeo (area 29 sq km, established in 1956 as a bird sanctuary, 1981 as a National Park), were the private hunting reserves of the Maharajas, and was developed in the late 19th century by creating small dams to collect rain water and by feeding it with an irrigation canal. Over the years, the lakes attracted great numbers of waterfowl and the Maharajas held grand shoots with family, friends and visiting dignitaries. The Park has over 400 resident and migrant bird species, including the Common, Demoiselle and the rare Siberian Cranes. As well as mammals like Striped Hyena, Fishing Cat, Golden Jackal, Jungle Cat, Nilgai, Sambar, Blackbuck, wild Boar and Indian Python. The Park is open through the year. Best months are August-March.
