Narain Niwas Palace
Narain 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 Narain
Singh, who had been Chief of police in Jaipur State as well as a minister at
the neighbouring princely state of Alwar.
Narain 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 Narain 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,
Narain 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 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
Narain Niwas Palace
Hotel Jaipur. This property is being run as a Heritage Hotel by the Kanota
Family.
