Built by King Sawai Pratap Singh from 1778 to 1803, Jal Mahal Palace is located in the middle of Man Sagar Lake, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Surrounding the lake are the Nahargarh Hills, creating a spectacular landscape. |
The name Jal Mahal of the famous Indian palace means “water palace”. The entire palace is built of red sandstone sourced from Jaipur. |
Jal Mahal Palace has 5 floors but 4 floors of the building are completely underwater. Only one floor is above water and can be seen by everyone. |
The reason why Jal Mahal palace is "half submerged, half surfaced" makes many people curious. |
According to records and documents, in the 18th century, a dam was built between two surrounding hills to prevent flooding. This caused the Jal Mahal palace to be partially submerged. |
The interior of the Jal Mahal palace is well preserved with exquisite paintings, impressively designed staircases, domes and octagonal towers at each corner of the structure. |
Over the years, Jal Mahal has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Many people visit this place and enjoy watching the beautiful reflection of the palace in the calm waters of Man Sagar Lake. |
Jal Mahal Palace is stunningly beautiful, even more impressive when night falls. The entire structure is lit up and looks like a gem set in the picturesque Aravali valley. |
