Udai Bilas
Palace, Dungarpur
The history 
of
Udai Bilas Palace, Dungarpur, Rajasthan dates from the mid-19th
century, when Maharawal Udai Singhji-II, a great patron of art
and architecture, built a wing of bluish grey local stone "Pareva"
overlooking the lake and the "Ek Thambia Mahal", featuring
intricate sculptured pillars and panels, ornate balconies, balustrades,
bracketed windows, arches and frieze of marble carvings, a veritable
marvel of Rajput architecture. Dungarpur is full of surprises
and promises to be a memorable experience in your journey across
India.
The Udai Bilas Palace was enlarged in 1940 by
Maharawal Laxman Singhji, who built three new wings around the "Ek Thambia Mahal" (literally onepillared Palace) and
thus created the famous "courtyard" of the Palace. The
result is an architectural expression exquisitely detailed. Still
the royal residence, the Palace offers accommodation in the house-guest
tradition with twenty spacious, airconditioned and lavishly appointed
bedrooms, seven double, three single and ten suites. No two rooms
are alike, simply because no two guests are alike. From suites
