The hustle bustle of the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan might be distracting but enthralling. A destination that can provide you with some relief is the Jal Mahal or the Water Palace located in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake. The palace floats on the lake that is surrounded by lush hills and forests. Visit hotels in Jaipur near Railway Station to experience the Jal Mahal comfortably.
- Built in the 1700s - It was originally built by Maharaja Madho Singh I in 1750 for a different purpose than what it is known for now. The Maharaja wanted to use this compound as a place for duck hunting. His son, however, renovated the palace and its interiors greatly.
- Rajput style of architecture - It was built from red sandstone and it is in accordance with the Rajput style of architecture. It is five stories high. Book hotels in Jaipur to see this picturesque sight.
- Chhatris - A Bengal type rectangular Chhatri is in the middle while the four corners have octagonal chhatris.
- Cenotaphs - The remains of the Kushwaha rulers such as Jai Singh and others like Pratap Singh reside in the cenotaphs on the opposite side of the lake.
- Restoration - The restoration works undertaken by the Government of Rajasthan have succeeded in repairing the damage caused by soil erosion and the partial seepage.
The Jal Mahal is situated on the same side of Jaipur as the Amer Fort thus making it an ideal tourist spot. The serenity and calmness it provides is also an amazing addition.
