The Ajit Group’s legacy is intertwined with Jodhpur’s history and the heritage hotel industry in India. Ajit Bhawan, built in 1927 for Major General Maharaj Dhiraj Sir Ajit Singh Ji, Prime Minister of Jodhpur, became India’s first heritage hotel in the late 1970s. Maharaj Swaroop Singh Ji and his wife Rani Usha Devi transformed part of the family home into a luxurious hotel celebrating Rajasthan’s culture and history. In 1996, the group opened Rawla Narlai, a countryside manor with 35 rooms and suites near Elephant Hill, offering discrete luxury. The Ajit Group, now led by Rani Usha Devi and her sons, continues to reflect their vision of elegance and modern comfort.
