Witness the exhilarating sport of polo amidst regal surroundings.
One of the oldest homes of Polo, Jodhpur has long standing association with the game.
It is here where the British cavalry ‘picked up’ the game and produced it in ‘modern’ form taking it all across the British Empire.
In the late 1800s Sir Pratap Singh, who was the Maharaja of Idar and the Regent of Jodhpur, was dissatisfied with the style of breeches he had to wear when he played polo. So he set out to produce a garment more suited to the needs of the game. The first pair was tailored in Jodhpur in the year 1890 and was made from thick cotton twill cloth. They were quickly adopted by the other Polo teams in India.
