History


Originally, Jogi Mahal functioned as a hunting lodge for the rulers of Jaipur, as well as their royal visitors and other ambassadors. When the Maharaja dynasty's power faded, Jogi Mahal was modified into a guest house for people who visit Ranthambore. But even that, too, has lately stagnated. Nowadays it stands alienated but proudly as a testament to authentic Rajputana architectural style at its highest form. Guests have recently started visiting here as well. It is also home to India's second-largest Banyan Tree, thereafter in Shibpur, West Bengal's Botanical Garden.
