The Jal Mahal Palace situated in Jaipur is noted for its exquisite architecture and stunning aura. 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 kms from Jaipur are the cenotaphs of the royal family. The first four floors of this building are under water, only the top floor remains outside. One can have a wonderful view of the lake and the palace from Nahargarh Fort. Jaipur is now one of the most important heritage cities in India and is a must-see for tourists coming to India. Jal Mahal is the major attraction for tourists all over the world. This is a testimony to the grandeur of the innovative design and structure in ancient India.
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. The breath taking Palace lies on the way to Sisodia garden. The lake is often dry in the summer but winter monsoons frequently turn it into a beautiful lake filled with water hyacinths.
