The farmers of Jodhpur went to ask for help from Maharaja Umaid Singh, the 37th Rathore ruler of Marwar. They asked him to provide them some employment options so that they can cope up with the conditions of the drought.

The Maharaja to help out the farmers thought for building a lavish palace in Jodhpur. The architect  Henry Vaughan Lanchester started designing it on the base of new delhi and adopted the design of latest domes and columns. This palace was a combination of Indian architectural features and the western technology.
