Woodville
palace has a history dating back to 1866 when Sir William Mansfield,
Commander-in-Chief of the imperial army became the first resident of
the charming estate. The palace was reconstructed in 1938 by the Rana of Jubbal when hundreds of expert artisans were brought from
far and wide to ensure the highest quality of craftsmanship. Kanwar
Udai Singh opened a part of the mansion as a guest house in 1977 and
today, the palace is one of the finest places to stay in
Shimla.
Situated at
an altitude of 7000 feet, far away from the sweltering plains of
northern India, Shimla was once a nondescript village. It became
popular with the British in the 1830s and later became the summer
capital of the imperial government. Enticed by its salubrious
character, the British ended up spending more time at this 'hill
station' than at the real capital which was at Calcutta. Today, it
is the state capital of Himachal Pradesh and holds the lingering
echoes of a bygone era. |
