Diggi Palace History

History of Diggi Palace — A Living Heritage Palace in Jaipur Since the Early 1730s

THE GENESIS

The Vision of Shri Thakur Saheb Pratap Singh Ji

Dating back to the 1730s, Diggi Palace was established in Jaipur by Shri Thakur Saheb Pratap Singh Ji as the family's royal residence. Over generations, its graceful courtyards, expansive gardens and stately halls became the setting for family gatherings, enduring traditions and memorable celebrations.

Today, that legacy lives on. From intimate ceremonies beneath the open sky to grand celebrations in the Durbar Hall and palace gardens, every occasion at Diggi Palace carries the warmth, timeless character and authentic spirit of a living heritage palace.

"To preserve is to honour the ancestors; to evolve is to serve the future."
