Narain Niwas was built in the 1928 by General
Amar Singh, Thakur of Kanota, Commander of the Jaipur State Forces and
confident of the then Maharaja, Sawai Man Singh. General Amar Singh was
the grandson of Thakur Zorawar Singh, founder of the Kanota family. Thakur
Shivnath Singh, (General Amar Singhji’s brother) supervised the actual
construction. The new mansion was named after their father, Thakur Narain
Singh, who had been Chief of police in Jaipur State as well as a minister
at the neighbouring princely state of Alwar. |
Narain Niwas was a country residence to which Amar Singh could
withdraw when he wanted a change from his busy administrative and
court life, and from the cares of ‘the Kanota family’s Haveli (the
Narain Niwas) within the walled city. Like other noblemen of old
Jaipur State, he built his "garden house" in the vicinity of Rambagh,
the pleasure garden and palace whose construction was begun in the
19th century by Maharaja Ram Singh (1835- J880). Until World War II,
Narain Niwas surrounded by jungle where Amar Singh could go for
pig sticking (hunting wild boar), to shoot game birds, and to hunt
black buck and the occasional panther.
Amar Singh ’s reputation as a soldier, administrator and a sports man
is exceeded by his reputation as a diarist. His diary, kept in English
for 44 years, from 2898 to 1942, in 89 folio volumes, 800 pages per
volume, provides and unparalleled ethnographic account of Rajput life
in princely India in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
Visitors can now enjoy traditional Rajput hospitality at Narain
Niwas Palace Hotel Jaipur. This property is being run as a
Heritage Hotel by the Kanota Family.
