Rajasthan’s capital city is Jaipur, and with good reason, because there is a beauty and charm about Jaipur that is rather unmatched. With the numerous architectural wonders that the city of Jaipur is home to, Jal Mahal situated in the middle of Lake Man Sagar is no exception. Jal Mahal has been one of the most popular tourist destinations of Jaipur, what with it being the most photographed spot of the city, and romantic boating trips across the lake will give a visitor the spectacular view of Jal Mahal in all its magnificent glory.
Interesting Facts
- Lake Man Sagar, home to Jal Mahal, lies in the north on the route from Jaipur to Amer, and has a distinct quality about itself with the Aravalli Hills in the background adding to its allure.
- Sharing the common ground of Mughal and Rajasthani architecture and design, Jal Mahal is a five-storey building built of red sandstone.
- Only the top floor of Jal Mahal is accessible and visible, since the remaining four floors remain submerged under the water of Lake Man Sagar.
- Jaipur’s government continuously makes attempts to preserve and develop the area surrounding Jal Mahal in order to maintain it as a tourist attraction.
- Jal Mahal was originally constructed by Maharaja Madho Singh in 1750 for himself and his companions to rest during their duck hunting endeavours.
- Maharaja Madho Singh II developed the interior and exterior of Jal Mahal later on in the 18th
- Since the palace was used more as a picnic spot than a residence, there are no specific personal or common chambers.
With the many monuments of Rajput and Mughal architecture adorning the city of Jaipur, Jal Mahal is one that cannot be ignored for its sheer splendour mainly because it was just used as a picnic spot by the royal family. Despite it not being used as a permanent residence, Jal Mahal is quite a great example of Rajput royal lifestyle.
