Jodhpur Polo: A Royal Legacy
Polo, the game of kings, is woven deeply into the history of Jodhpur. The sport's origins in Marwar predate formal records, with the Rathore rulers embracing it long before it was widely recognized. The Rathores' passion for polo not only inspired the British to learn and establish the first regularised polo club in Calcutta but also positioned Jodhpur as a pivotal polo hub.
In the late 1800s, Sir Pratap Singh and his pioneering Jodhpur polo team garnered international acclaim with resounding victories at prestigious English venues such as Hurlingham and Ranelagh. Their stellar performances elevated Jodhpur's status in the polo world, cementing its reputation for excellence.
Flourishing Bold and
International
The 2000s ushered in a new era for Jodhpur Polo, attracting international teams and enhancing its status on the global polo calendar. Tournaments like the Rajputana & Central India Cup, the Maharaja of Jodhpur Cup, and the Maharaja of Jodhpur Golden Jubilee Cup became season highlights, alongside the Army Commanders Cup and the Indian Air Force Longewala Polo Cup.
Revival
and Modernization
Under the visionary leadership of H.H. Maharaja Gajsingh II, polo in Jodhpur experienced a renaissance. In 1993, His Highness, along with Yuvraj Shivraj Singhji, re-launched Jodhpur Polo, creating ripples in the polo community. The establishment of a world-class grass ground in 2000, coupled with exceptional facilities for players, horses, and spectators, reasserted Jodhpur as the 'Mecca' of polo, hosting prestigious tournaments and drawing enthusiasts worldwide every December.
