It was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as a gift of love for his 2nd queen in 1728 . The place consists of tiered multi-level gardens with fountains, watercourses and painted pavilions. A double-storeyed palace occupies the top terrace of the garden. The palace has many galleries, pavilions and murals depicting scenes from the life of lord Krishna.
