Bhadrawati Palace / Bhandarej
Bhadrawati Palace, located in the historic village of Bhandarej, is a stunning heritage property that dates back to the 11th century. It was originally built when the Kachhawa chieftain, Dhula Rao, defeated the Badgujars to establish his reign. Over the centuries, the palace has undergone numerous renovations, blending various architectural styles while retaining its royal Rajput soul. In 1994, it was converted into a premier heritage hotel, allowing travelers to experience the lifestyle of Rajasthani royalty. The palace is renowned for its massive courtyards, arched corridors, and beautifully landscaped gardens. The interiors are decorated with traditional artifacts, royal portraits, and antique furniture. The "Bhandarej" region itself is steeped in history, mentioned even in ancient scriptures, and the palace stands as its crowning jewel. Staying here or even visiting for a meal provides a sense of the bravery and culture of the Bhandarej chieftains. The palace also offers activities like camel safaris and village walks, making it a complete cultural hub. It is located very close to the Jaipur-Agra highway, making it an easy stop for travelers. The palace's presence has helped preserve the local traditions of carpet weaving and pottery in the village. It is a perfect example of how historical monuments can be sustainably preserved through heritage tourism.
