About Narayan Niwas
Palace
Narayan Niwas
was built in the 1928 by General Amar Singh, Thakur of Kanota,
Commander of the Jaipur State Forces and confident of the then
Maharaja, Sawai Man Singh. General Amar Singh was the grandson of
Thakur Zorawar Singh, founder of the Kanota family. Thakur
Shivnath Singh, (General Amar Singhji’s brother) supervised the
actual construction. The new mansion was named after their father,
Thakur Narayan Singh, who had been Chief of police in Jaipur State
as well as a minister at the neighbouring princely state of Alwar.
Narayan Niwas was
a country residence to which Amar Singh could withdraw when he
wanted a change from his busy administrative and court life, and
from the cares of ‘the Kanota family’s Haveli (the Narayan Niwas)
within the walled city. Like other noblemen of old Jaipur State,
he built his "garden house" in the vicinity of Rambagh, the
pleasure garden and palace whose construction was begun in the
19th century by Maharaja Ram Singh (1835- J880). Until World War
II, Narayan Niwas surrounded by jungle where Amar Singh could go
for pig sticking (hunting wild boar), to shoot game birds, and to
hunt black buck and the occasional panther.
Amar Singh ’s
reputation as a soldier, administrator and a sports man is
exceeded by his reputation as a diarist. His diary, kept in
English for 44 years, from 2898 to 1942, in 89 folio volumes, 800
pages per volume, provides and unparalleled ethnographic account
of Rajput life in princely India in the late Victorian and
Edwardian eras.
Visitors can now
enjoy traditional Rajput hospitality at Narayan Niwas Palace
Hotel Jaipur. This property is being run as a Heritage Hotel by the Kanota Family.
