JAIMAHAL- JAIPUR
The name Jal Mahal meaning water palace, literally suggests its striking feature. Situated in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in the city of Jaipur, it provides an exquisite view for the visitors. Jal Mahal exhibits the Mughal - Rajputana style of architecture and the view is enhanced by the backdrop of the Nahargarh Hills. The original date of construction of the Jal Mahal is not known, but it was renovated, in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh the second. It is a five leveled structure, made of red sandstone, but the 4 levels are submerged in the water, allowing only the topmost level to be visible. One of the most splendid sights one can receive from a trip to Jaipur, the palace, especially in the evening looks stunning.
