Ajit Bhawan was exclusively built for Maharaja Ajit Singh, the younger
brother of maharajah of Jodhpur. It is an impressive red sandstone
structure of 1940's with arched windows, carved balconies and cupolas
adding to its rugged beauty. The most interesting feature in the building
is the courtyard-a quadrangle with exquisitely carved latticework.
This area comes to life during meal times when Rajasthani delicacies
are served by turbaned men and veiled women. Traditional folk music
makes the meals more enjoyable.
