Jal Mahal (Water Palace) is one of the most spectacular tourist attractions in Jaipur. The city is dotted with amazing architectural beauties, and Jal Mahal is at the forefront of these works of art. The palace stands in the middle of Man Sagar Lake, and when I first saw it, it seemed to float on the lake, and the sight took my breath away.
The palace is not very tall and has four domed pillars on each corner and one large pillar in the middle. Jal Mahal was once the hunting lodge of the Maharaja of Jaipur and is now one of the landmarks of Jaipur.Though the city of Jaipur has earned itself the moniker of the pink city because of pink stone being used in most of its buildings, Jal Mahal is unique due to red sandstone used in its construction. Today, visitors cannot explore the palace as a tourist attraction since the place has been converted into a restaurant and entry for visitors has been stopped.
