Another example of Marwar's architecture is this building, which cut a huge rock and gave it the shape of a ship (ship), hence it is called a ship house. This historic heritage is located in Nagori Gate of Jodhpur city.
Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh Ji built this building in 1886 for his private residence. Among the other rulers, he made the most trips abroad, which was mostly by ship, so he thought of building a ship-shaped building for his residence as well. Which was directed by the then State Engineer Home. This building is three-story which was no surprise to the city and its craftsmanship is also worth seeing. Stables for horses were built in the lower floors and two polo grounds were also built near the hill as Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh ji was very interested in the sport of polo.

But Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh Ji could not stay in this building for a long time and he got a new building constructed in Ratanada. Because the ship house was located in the east and the wind speed is often from west to east, due to which the polluted air of the city used to come in this direction.
Jodhpur Broadcasting Station was constructed on 25 January 1949 at Ship House. Some Marwari songs and bhajans were broadcast from the Maharaja's private transmitter. Today, due to lack of care, this building is losing its popularity. Encroachment is also happening in the surrounding areas.
However, this building is personal property of the Maharaja and consideration is being made to make it a heritage museum. So that this historical heritage can be decorated and made popular again. Book a Car Rental in Jodhpur and enjoy it.
