远远望去，沙漠之都焦特普尔竟有几分希腊爱琴海的姿色— 浪漫，闲适。城区所有房子的墙壁涂成蓝色，像成千上万的蓝积木堆积在一起，宁静、安详……据说蓝色是印度最高种姓“婆罗门”的专属色，就像中国古代“黄色”与皇族的关系一样。还有说涂上蓝色的房子可以驱虫避蚊……铺天盖地的蓝，任谁都倾慕有加。一片漫漶的海蓝中，乌麦巴旺宫“平沙莽莽黄入天”，自成气候。
From afar， the desert capital of Jodhpur looks pretty much like the romantic and quiet Greek Aegean Sea. All the city house walls were painted blue， like tens of thousands of blue blocks stacked together， peaceful and serene. It is said that blue is the color exclusively used by India’s highest caste "Brahman"， just like the color "yellow" used by the ancient Chinese imperial family. People also said that color blue repels bugs and mosquitos. Such overwhelming blue is much adored. Amid the blue stands the Umaid Bhawan Palace， unique and proud.
大崛起A Sharp Rise
水与食物都很匮乏的焦特普尔迫切需要一种象征来寻求突破，壮大自我。1923年，现任王公的祖父——宅心仁厚的乌麦？辛格殿下下旨起建一座新宫殿，为饱受旱灾与饥荒所困的梅瓦尔王朝子民提供就业机会。1928至1943年间，大兴土木的宫殿替代梅兰加尔堡，一举成为焦特普尔的崭新坐标。
乌麦巴旺宫 — 印度伟大宫殿的尾音，自1943年敞开镀金大门，便向世界发出了皇家居所的雄浑呐喊。这西方技术与多种印度建筑风格的混血儿，通体黄砂，金色灿灿。曾专属皇室女眷的私有住所内，如今下榻着焦特普尔的现任王公甘吉辛格及王室成员。皇家的浩浩英气，飘散不去。
Water and food were scarce and Jodhpur needed a symbol of growth and possibility. In 1923， His Royal Highness Maharaja Umaid Singh （the grandfather of the present Maharaja） benevolently commissioned a new palace to give employment to the people of Marwar during the period of great droughts and famines. Te palace was built between 1928 and 1943 and replaced Mehrangarh Fort as the new landmark of Jodhpur.
Perched high above the desert capital of Jodhpur， the Umaid Bhawan Palace， the last of India’ s great palaces， was also one of the largest royal residences in the world when it opened its gilded doors in 1943. A spectacular synthesis of western technology and more than one Indian architectural style， the Umaid Bhawan Palace is a magnifcent edifce built entirely in golden yellow sandstone. Te present Maharaja of Jodhpur， His Highness Maharaja Gajsingh and the Royal Family continue to reside in what was formerly the Zenana， a private wing for the ladies of the royal household.
“艺术装饰”归来The Return of Art Deco
这座被称为世界最大的私人住宅之一的宏大建筑，由爱德华时代著名建筑师亨利？沃恩？兰彻斯特设计，经15年建造，1943年完美诞生，堪称建筑丰碑。华丽内饰走欧美盛极一时的艺术装饰路线，出自波兰艺术家朱利叶斯？斯蒂芬？诺尔布林之手的异国壁画颇有锦上添花的意味。60年光阴流淌而过，公共区域、Regal及ViceRegal套房却毫发未损，丝毫未见时间辙痕。如今，这座宫殿或许是世界上完好保留艺术装饰风的最大型建筑体之一。2005年1月，泰姬酒店集团接管这座宫殿，继续延承乌麦巴旺宫的皇室奢华，并将酒店文化带到焦特普尔。
Designed by the well-known Edwardian architect Henry Vaughan Lanchester and completed in 1943 afer almost 50 years’ construction， Maharaja Umaid Singh’ s Umaid Bhawan Palace is a monumental structure. Te sumptuous interiors were done in Art Deco that was then popular in Europe and America， and were superbly complemented by the exotic murals of the Polish artist Julius Stefan Norblin. Afer 60 years， with the public areas and the Regal and Vice-Regal Suites essentially untouched， the palace is today perhaps one of the largest and best-preserved buildings of the Art Deco style.

宫殿整体占地26英亩，花园占地15英亩，花枝交错，花影斑驳。1977年，乌麦巴旺宫改为酒店，奢华客套房贞静若娴。中央大厅气场强大到令人仰止，圆屋顶高达150英尺，浑厚的屋顶据说是为了格挡印度炎热的气候。楼梯门厅呈椭圆形，会议室及宴会厅仪容素整，规规矩矩分列两边。本就气度不凡的王宫大殿辅以一幅幅精致的罗摩衍那壁画，愈发生威。车库是老式汽车大荟萃的舞台。不俗宫殿，生如斯，美如斯。
华丽宫殿里还设有一处私人博物馆、自有邮局及雅致镶木板的图书馆。娱乐设施自是不落伍，室内外泳池、台球室、四座网球场、两座独特大理石地板壁球场及15英亩花园，各个有看头。
Te palace covers an area of 26 acres of land and the garden takes up 15 acres. Te Umaid Bhawan Palace was converted into a hotel in 1977， with luxurious rooms and suites， retaining the original Art Deco interiors. Te spectacular Central Rotunda has a cupola rising 150 feet； an oval staircase hall is fanked by the impressive Ballroom and Banquet Hall on either side； the Trone Room， with its exquisite Ramayana murals and garages， displays a collection of vintage cars. All these reafrm the grandeur of this remarkable palace.
Tis splendid palace has a private museum， a post ofce and an elegant wood-paneled library. Te palace also ofers recreational facilities such as an indoor swimming pool， a billiards room， four tennis courts， two unique marble-foored squash courts and a 15-acre garden.
采用当地特色砂岩建成的乌麦巴旺宫殿酒店内部结构无任何研体粘合，融合东西方建筑风格的精华。庄严的高穹顶设计受文艺复兴的影响，而裙楼则从当地拉其普特传统风格中获取灵感。作为印度王朝的最后一座伟大宫殿，“乌麦巴旺”发出的生命绝唱，千古绵长。
Tis masterpiece was constructed without mortar binding. Te palace is a blend of eastern and western architectural elements. Its 105-foot high majestic cupola is infuenced by the Renaissance， while the towers draw inspiration from Rajput tradition. Tis last great palace of India sings the last song， fowing into the everlasting history.
