Tijara Fort- Palace is a great heritage resort near Delhi that offers the unique opportunity to awaken in a once unfinished 19th century abandoned palace that has now been lovingly restored
In 1835 CE Balwant Singh initiated the construction of a Fort-Palace as well as a grand Hawa Mahal. Famous architects and masons from Kabul and Mughal Delhi were originally engaged for its construction. Maharaja Balwant Singh’s premature death in 1845 CE resulted in the construction being halted remaining incomplete until it was taken over by Neemrana Hotels to restore, complete and run as a palace hotel in Rajasthan.
The Tijara Fort-Palace complex is an unfinished marvel of three structures, built in the Rajput-Afghan style with early colonial influences: the Mardana for the royal men, the Rani Mahal for the maharanis and a pleasure palace on the edge of a plateau, overlooking a water body called the Hawa Mahal, palace of winds.
In January of 2016, Tijara opened its doors to the world post restoration. The property boasts of a 101 suites and rooms named after India’s leading painters, designers and aesthetes who have helped create them. The Rani Mahal consists of 22 suites. The Mardana Mahal houses 56 rooms, Deewar Mahal & Top Mahal houses 8 rooms and Khajoor Mahal houses 15 rooms, which have been styled by leading designers, artists, and aesthetes.
The Marigold bar is a central structure where guests arrive from all directions. One of the wonders of the Tijara property is Pataal Kund – a rather large pool, where guests can swim in the comfort of shade.
There is also an underground auditorium below the fountain garden. No amount of photographs are able to describe the breath-taking 360 degree views of Tijara Fort-Palace which change with the light and the seasons.
Seven terraced gardens command a magnificent view above the tall ramparts that have now been lovingly completed and restored.
