Description

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. The palace lies on Jaipur Agara highway.
