The massive structure was built between 1928 and 1943 by Maharaja Umaid Singh, according to vogue.com. A pair of English architects are responsible for its design: Henry Vaughan Lanchester, who looked to the buildings of Sir Edwin Lutyens for inspiration. The resulting style is a combination of European and Mughal architecture, dubbed "Indo-Deco," Vogue details.
