This was our rest stop for one night on our journey to Jodphur. The Bijay Niwas Palace is a grand old home and we had a palatial room, dressing room and bathroom on the ground floor. The staff were excellent and very attentive. After a day of travel it was lovely to relax in the grounds, but too cold for swimming.
The dressing room with an equally large bathroom. Built in the 19th century with high ceilings it now operates as a boutique hotel to cover the cost of maintenance. All the rooms had hand painted decorations, marble shelves, tiled floors and block printed curtains and cushions.
Marble fireplaces in the dining area and family portraits on the mantle.
Dinner was very grand with perfect service. Vegetable soup and numerous dishes for main.
Lots of great vegetable curries and chicken also. Note the family crest.
The naan bread was excellent.
And for dessert we had Rus Gulla, a sweet milk and coconut confection.

Stunning place! Colours in the table cloth caught my eye too!
