Shahpura Haveli was little more than a fortified stronghold in the rugged Rajput tradition.
Only in the early 18th century under Rao Bishan Singh ji did the castle begin to take on the grandeur for which it is now renowned and continued to expand under his descendant Rao Pratap Singh ji who is credited with the Palace’s most fabulous addition – the extravagantly florid, hand-painted Darbar Hall and the overlooking gallery which forms the incredible hall of mirrors, the magic of which is repeated across the famous palaces of Rajasthan.
Photographs of Rao Bishan Singh, Rao Pratap Singh ji and the family hang on the walls of the rooms at the Palace – the images speak of an exotic lineage that is recognizable even today.
Shahpura Haveli was Built over 300 years ago in the village of Shahpura, which was then meticulously restored and transformed into one the country’s premium palace hotel and is a perfect example of Rajput-Mughul architecture.
