Jal Mahal

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.
