Balsamand Lake
Palace, Jodhpur
(Heritage Hotel)
Balsamand Palace, Mandore Road,
Jodhpur – 342026, Rajasthan (India)
A stone's
throw away from the ancient capital of Marwar, Mandore, and only 8 km from
the city-center of Jodhpur, Balsamand Palace is a world away from
the hustle and bustle of modern life. The lake was engineered in the 12th
Century but the exquisite red sand-stone palace came later; it was built
by Maharaja Jaswant Singh I of Jodhpur in the 17th Century, at the very
zenith of Rathore Rule under the umbrella of the Mughal Empire. Set in a
private estate of over 60 Acres, with sprawling orchards of lime and
pomegranate and landscaped gardens criss-crossed by elegant waterways and
even a aqueduct, the palace with its lovely promenade on the lake, was
always more than just a residence; a pleasure palace in the finest Mughal
tradition of the picnic. In more recent times a tradition has developed
with the Royal Family celebrating the first rains in Balsamand; a
custom that has led to the palace being referred to as a Monsoon Palace.
But today, after the successful completion of an ambitious restoration and
modernization program Balsamand is the palace for all seasons; a
world class Heritage Hotel with modern amenities and an Ayurvedic Health
Spa of renown.
