The Jal Mahal Palace, Jaipur
is noted for its intricate architecture. The Palace was developed as a
pleasure spot. It was used for the royal duck shooting parties.
On the road to Amber at a
distance of 6.5 kms from Jaipur are the cenotaphs of the royal family. A
causeway leads to Jal Mahal Palace situated in the middle of Man Sagar
lake, opposite the cenotaphs.The first four floors of this building is
under water, only the top floor remains outside.One can have a wonderful
view of the lake and the palace from
Nahargarh Fort
Built in 1799, the palace is now abandoned, but reasonably well
preserved. In the monsoons, it looks particularly startling with its red
sandstone set against the water hyacinth filled lake.
