Ranbanka Palace

Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India

---

Ranbanka Palace in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, built in 1927 for Maharajadhiraj Sir Ajit Singh ji, blends the grandeur of Marwar's royal heritage with colonial architectural influences. Designed by British architect Sir Henry Lanchester, the sandstone palace features intricate carvings, delicate jali work, and spacious interiors with high ceilings that ensure natural air circulation, keeping it cool during hot summers.

Originally part of Ajit Bhawan, the residence of the royal family, the palace served as a hub for royal audiences and local dignitaries. Today, Ranbanka Palace is a heritage hotel managed by the descendants of the Maharaja, preserving its historic charm while offering luxurious accommodations, including elaborate courtyards, traditional gardens, and modern amenities.

It stands between the iconic Mehrangarh Fort and the Umaid Bhawan Palace, reflecting the rich cultural legacy and architectural splendor of Rajasthan’s royal past.
