British Polo Day celebrates the heritage of polo, encompassing several matches over two days at the Maharaja of Jodhpur's Private Polo Club, including a game of elephant polo pitting the Cavalry against the Guards. Three nights' of entertainment include a welcome barbecue at RAAS, evening dinner and entertainment at Mehrangarh Fort and culminates in a Gala Dinner at Umaid Bhawan Palace (pictured above).
