About This Location

Umaid Bhawan Palace is a magnificent art-deco palace built between 1928 and 1943. Part museum, part luxury hotel, the palace's yellow sandstone glows warmly in sunlight. The symmetrical gardens, dramatic driveway, and grand facade create imposing royal backdrops. Photography is permitted in garden areas, and the museum section allows indoor shots. The palace is frequently used for destination weddings.
