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

Established in the early 18th century by Shri Thakur Saheb Pratap Singh Ji, Diggi Palace was envisioned as a royal residence where heritage, hospitality, and tradition would flourish. Its graceful courtyards, expansive gardens, and stately halls have witnessed generations of family gatherings, cultural traditions, and unforgettable celebrations.

Today, that legacy continues. From intimate ceremonies beneath the open sky to grand celebrations in the Durbar Hall and palace gardens, every occasion at Diggi Palace is enriched by 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."

It was here that they began building Diggi Palace, their ancestral seat, whose timeless architecture and enduring legacy continue to define its place in Jaipur's heritage.
