One of the earlier
Thakurs of Bissau Shyam Singh was an outstanding if somewhat
unconventional ruler - An Englishman who visited his court in 1808
had this to say "At his palace I saw four Shekhawat Chief's and
cousins - they were plain men, and seemed to be living in great
harmony. While some of the others bore strong marks of the effect of
opium especially noticeable in their eyes, one of them Shyam Singh
seemed remarkably mild and well mannered but scarcely had I crossed
the desert when I heard that Shyam Singh had murdered the three
others at a feast, stabbing the first with his own hand". This
story may or may not be authentic but is quite typical of times and
conditions prevailing in that particular era.
 Bissau
Palace is an elegant traditional hotel built in 1919 and recently
renovated. Close to the walled city and overlooking the Tiger fort
the Bissau offers an oasis of calm, care, comfort and respite from
the 'heat and dust' of the city.The guest rooms are spacious and
comfortable. A gracious hotel with old-world charm and reputation
for excellent cuisine and service. An atmosphere pregnant with
intrigue, excitement, tragedy. Turreted ramparts enclosing a world
of wealth.
To his credit,
however, it must be maintained that Shyam Singh was at his best a
brilliant general and tactician who hired the services of French
mercenaries in his fight against the British and the Jaipur State.
Most of the armoury displayed here were a part of Shyam Singh's
'personal effects'.
