Maharaja Umed Singh II, ruling king of Kota in the
early 1900s, who resided in the medieval fort within the city of Kota,
decided that he wanted a modern palace for his personal use.
Umed Singh II commissioned Sir Swinton Jacob, an officer of the Royal
Engineers in the British Army to undertake the conception and implementation
of this project and in 1905, the Umed Bhawan Palace, built in the prevalent
Indo-Sarcenic style, was constructed.
