Rajasthan Polo Club
Renowned globally as a pinnacle of polo prowess, the Rajasthan Polo Club emerged from the amalgamation of the Jaipur State into the larger tapestry of Rajasthan in 1957.
Originating as the Jaipur Polo Club in 1918, this esteemed institution drew its members predominantly from the realms of Jodhpur and Jaipur Riyasat. Nestled adjacent to the Jaipur Club, near the present-day Ganapati Nagar,
it stood as a testament to the artistry and passion of sport. With the passage of time, the club's reputation only soared, solidifying its standing as a distinguished center of excellence in the revered world of polo.
The City Palace
The City Palace in Jaipur encompasses a series of courtyards, founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as part of his ambitious city project. Successive rulers continued to enhance the palace with elegant additions up to the 20th century. Beyond being a grand residence for the royal family, the palace has served as a hub for artistic patronage and learning. Its numerous temples make it a focal point for ritual and worship.
During significant festivals such as Gangaur and Teej, the procession of the Goddess's image through the streets symbolically bridges the City Palace and the people of Jaipur in joyous celebration. Today, through the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum Trust, the palace's exclusive spaces have been opened to the public, inviting visitors from around the world to experience its rich heritage.
The PDKF Store
The Princess Diya Kumari Foundation (PDKF) strives to provide a path to a better future for disadvantaged women and girls who face cultural, gender-biased and economic barriers.
The Foundation focuses on skill building to create sustainable livelihoods for women; promotes heritage crafts and facilitates community health programs. PDKF sponsors underprivileged girls through scholarships, digital literacy, and academic assistance.
Rajmahal Palace
Rajmahal Palace was built in 1729. The property was the home of Maharaja Sawai Man ‘Jai’ Singh and Maharani Gayatri Devi for many years. The Maharani describes the Palace in her memoir, A Princess remembers, as a place that had ‘charm and character and a pleasantly informal atmosphere’.
The Royal family’s photos, polo trophies, classic 1950’s Ford Thunderbird and many heirlooms are on display at the property. This heritage palace has hosted some of the world’s most prominent dignitaries including Queen Elizabeth II and the late Duke of Edinburgh.
Today it is run as an exclusive hotel by the RAAS group.
