You can’t visit the palace on the water but the view from the lake something like you never seen before. Unfortunately the lake is dirty needs to be cleaned so don’t be fooled by pristine photos where all the floating garbage has been photoshopped out. There is so much garbage piled up at the visitors viewing area that is so depressing and completely destroys the experience of the beautiful monument set in the lake. Secondly, the place is filled with beggars who harass the tourists.

Beautiful, peaceful and scenic. The beauty of the place comes out best in evenings though and early morning visit would be delightful for sure. You can feed the fish but I felt that the fish were pretty overfed. You can feed the ducks but they hardly come to the shore. You can see interesting birds like Flamingo and Crane sitting on one leg in the water.

The place is beautiful and well maintained for tourists. You'll see the mahal on water from the road itself. There is no need to fall in trap of tourist guides here. Just roam around, take photographs and enjoy.

Jal Mahal View Point is located Amer Road Jaipur Rajasthan. Jal Mahal in Mansgar Lake View Point near Lake road side is well maintained by JDA Jaipur Rajasthan but Lake is very darty not clean water properly.

It's a nice place to visit. There are photographers available to get your pictures. They also provide traditional dress if needed. There is a museum just across the road. It's also recommended. There you can find sculptures, clothing, a library containing old written records and much more.

Nice place to spend time with family and friends No ticket facility.. Parking facility available.. Street food available.... Photo shoot of Rajasthan style available.... Open till 10 pm... Near amber palace road... Recommended to visit...

The place is beautiful and well-maintained for tourists. You'll see the mahal on water from the road itself. There is no need to fall in trap of guides here. Just roam around, take photographs and enjoy.

The water palace is a great treat to eye at the same time a very good place to hangout and take some very nice pictures in traditional Rajesthan attires. But one advice, please bargain because there are many photographers around, some will say high price, some say low price so first go around before you decide to pick a dress or photographer. Highly recommended.

I was there quite late in the evening. We parked the car at the area on the opposite side of the lake and we crossed a very crowded street to the lake. It's a beautiful and special palace in the middle of the lake and there was no boat or something to get there so we took pictures from far away. It was windy and quite hard to take pictures since the dust kept getting into my eyes. There were many people there to take pictures and street vendors who tried to sell their goods.

Jal mahal has a great attraction among tourist. Come here walk, jog, feed the birds, soak the views of sunset and sunlight. Also a lot of street vendors serves you with mouth watering street food. An absolutely must visit place in Jaipur

The place looks absolutely serene sitting quietly in the middle of the lake. The architectural elegance is absolutely mesmerizing as the place seems to be floating on water. To get the best experience you should visit the place early in the morning or during twilight. Also, the best views would be when the sky is completely blue, because it will give a nice hue to the water. Also, it's a great place for bird watchers. However, the water of the lake is extremely dirty as people feed fishes and birds, which is restricted by the government. Proper maintenance should be in place for such a beautiful historical monument.

Wow! Magnificent! Wish they'd have provided some sought of boat service to the Mahal! It is incredibly photogenic and you can click some amazing snaps if you have a really good camera. There is also a tiny market that runs through the sidewalk. Don't miss this place while visiting Jaipur.

Good place to feed fishes and give them some care, it also have great views. Don't forget to see the very large turtle who is too old and might be the king of thier waters. Govt should take of its cleanliness also I request each one of us to keep in mind that we also have to keep it clean.

A place of historical importance and great scenery , but due to mismanagement of water quality, it's reduced to smelly cess pool and a big drainage for the city.shame on Jaipur administration which take hefty fees for every travel spot but in terms of Maintenance it's zero work. Could not bear the stench and had to get away fro the place

Jal Mahal is a palace in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur the capital of Rajasthan in India. The palace was constructed around 1699; the building and the lake around it were later renovated and enlarged in the early 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber. Half the palace is submerged in water. This is a tourist attraction and the footpath on the bank is Bazar for arts and crafts of Rajasthan. One can take some memorabilia from the site or take a picture adorning Rajasthani traditional attire. You can listen to traditional live music playing.

Best palace in jaipur

Outside view of Jal mahal is great. Wish there was boating facility. The water around is not clean. I wish people take these heritage sites more careful and keep it neat and clean. Good ambience. Can spend some time here and click pictures.

This is a palace inside a lake. It is fully covered with water from all side.During the 18th century, the water-locked lodge was renovated and the lake area was expanded. For a great deal of the temple’s history, visitors were able to take gondolas across the lake waters to visit the historic faux-palace. The rooftop of the structure manages to support foliage and from the shoreline it almost looks like the castle is still in use.

Jal mahal is situated in mid of a lake in route of nahargarh fort only top floor is visible and 3 of the floor is in water You can see many Peogons fly over their nice place for photography and couple shoots. You can go their with help of boat but nowadays it's closed due to some reason. But you can enjoy the scenery from a distance.

The structure is beautiful to see, an ancient Palace in the middle of a water body! A must visit place and you have to take a pic here if you are in Jaipur. Besides looking at this structure, there is nothing much to do. You can feed the fishes, but I didn't even see one, maybe because it was mid summer day. Sadly no cafe to sit and enjoy the beauty of this place. Surroundings not very clean. It's on the way to Amer Fort so you won't miss it!

Nice site and good design. Build in the middle of the lake. Just so sad that we can't cross the lake and we see don't any boat rental around. All we can do is take a good picture from afar. We come here in the afternoon till night. Sightseeing at the lake side where a lot of seller and photo services. Very crowded as we come on Sunday afternoon. And also have to wait for other to have the best photo spot. Eventhough we can only see from afar, but still a lot of local and foreign tourists come to see the beautiful Jal Mahal. I think if the building sites open for public with coordinated boat ride, this will give much bigger value for the tourism sector.

It is a very iconic place in Jaipur, the temple on the lake. It reminded me of Udaipur’s White Palace. There is a very nice promenade around the lake, very lively, that offers great photography opportunities of both the palace and the visitors.

Superb Location, Architecture, and Vibe. Place is abandoned, and it seems government is neglecting this historic place. Zero cleanliness not maintained at all. I know why tourism and archeological departments are sleeping over it.

The biggest beauty of this palace is that it is in the middle of the water and people come to see it and enjoy this place. In Jaipur, it is also one of the beautiful places and its greatest beauty is its It has to be in the middle of the water and there is a beautiful view here even at night. I recommend to go to the place.

This place is very good by name only. Crowded because it is free to visit. Dirty because not maintained properly. Average place as you cannot go into the Mahal, not even boating was allowed.

Genuine review by Mr.E Beautiful ancient fort standing in the great lake a perfect example of marvellous ancient architecture . This place is like a Juhu chopati for Jaipur people , good street Market around this place and great ambience here. You can't enter this fort earlier people used to go here by boat now u can't go inside as there is no way. But come and have good pictures clicked here.

The incredible Jal Mahal is very real though, and has an equally colourful and mysterious history. Thought to have been built 300 hundred years ago, it is said the partially-submerged palace was used for Maharajah picnics and duck hunting soirees. The haunting Jal Mahal palace is set on Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur, India, and no one really knows why it was built. Every archway, balcony and doorway is adorned with carvings, and the 20 pillars are the cenotaph of the royal family of Raja Jai Singh. Although gondola trips to the island are no longer available, there are boat trips that can be booked for jal-mahal visits. There are no chambers in the palace, but there is a beautiful garden which allows guests to relax among the hyacinths and jasmine flowers. There are four chattris, or domed pavilions, on all four corners of the palace and they are all octagonal in shape. The lake used to be a bird watcher’s paradise in the past and was a favourite ground for the Rajput kings of Jaipur for duck hunting.

Jalmahal is very beautifully built over an lake in Jaipur. As it is surrounded by water and there isn't any boat service so one can't go inside. Alongside the lake there is a big roadside market also where you can avail horse riding, camel riding, also wear traditional Rajasthani dress to take pictures.

(Translated by Google) This palace situated on the Jaipur-Amer road, situated in the middle of Mansagar lake, was built by Sawai Jai Singh after his Ashwamedha yagna for bathing with his queens and pandits. Before the construction of this palace, Jaysingh constructed the Mansagar lake by constructing a dam on the gestational river to supply water to Jaipur. It was built in 189. (Original) जयपुर-आमेर मार्ग पर मानसागर झील के मध्‍य स्थित इस महल का निर्माण सवाई जयसिंह ने अश्वमेध यज्ञ के बाद अपनी रानियों और पंडित के साथ स्‍नान के लिए करवाया था। इस महल के निर्माण से पहले जयसिंह ने जयपुर की जलापूर्ति हेतु गर्भावती नदी पर बांध बनवाकर मानसागर झील का निर्माण करवाया। इसका निर्माण १७९९ में हुआ था।

Good place.. there is no ticket fir viewers

Very nice place having chilled air blowing around. The only issue is garbage, it's at the shore of lake and ruin the beauty. Government should work on this to keep this lake clean and tidy. Rest all okay, must visit place for first time jaipur visitors

🙂🙂🙂🙂

One of the most visited sites of Jaipur. The govt has made good arrangement for parking and the best part is it's free. The place is very famous and popular for locals as well as for tourist and also offers employment for small street vendors. cleanliness is an issue because of the large amount of people visiting the place. There are dustbins everywhere but still the lake is dirty. Government can't check each and everything and this is the responsibility of people to keep the place clean.

So osm place I have ever been . I first time see this type of place. Market near this place is amazing

It's a nice place. But I would love if public would have allowed to go and see the place inside. Seeing from 500m away is okay as there is no charge of seeing it. Overall it's nice to see how a fort is in the middle of a lake. Specially taking snaps is also good. But maintainance is required at the place and need to be cleaned.

I visited here at the sunset and though there was hustle and bustle of the city, it was still very soothing with the chai from street vendor there. You can come here for an evening walk with family or friends. But the entry is prohibited at Jal Mahal. You can just admire it's beauty from afar. 😇

The Jal Mahal palace is an architectural showcase of the Rajput style of architecture (common in Rajasthan) on a grand scale. The building has a picturesque view of the lake itself but owing to its seclusion from land is equally the focus of a viewpoint from the Man Sagar Dam on the eastern side of the lake in front of the backdrop of the surrounding Nahargarh ("tiger-abode") hills. The palace, built in red sandstone, is a five-storied building, of which four floors remain underwater when the lake is full and the top floor is exposed[citation needed].[1] One rectangular Chhatri on the roof is of the Bengal type. The chhatris on the four corners are octagonal. The palace had suffered subsidence in the past and also partial seepage (plasterwork and wall damage equivalent to rising damp) because of waterlogging, which have been repaired under a restoration project of the Government of Rajasthan.[2

Great place to walk and feel the beauty.. Boating service temporarily unavailable as on 25th Feb 2021 A must visit place

A beautiful palace made inside the lake. You can't visit this place. Only view from the distant shores. The place is crowded most of the time with tourist and hawkers. Beware of pickpockets!!

Beautiful to watch it in evening. One can spend hours sitting there and enjoying the view. Small food stalls all around are situated. We had amazing tea from a vendor. Photography with rajasthani dresses are also available.

The best place to spend evenings in Jaipur for nature lovers. The place is a frequent visit for migratory birds which adds to the beauty of this place. But I'd like to add one piece of advice that if you're planning to visit it in the night, don't go. Coz the lighting around the palace is not sufficient and one can't really appreciate the place in the night. Best time to visit is between 6-8 pm in summers and 5-7 pm in winters.

Beautiful place with such lovely experience. Visit there at evening, you'll be comfortable at this time only. There can be bit rush and also you get things to eat bit costly. There is parking and there is no tickets to buy to visit here.

There is a view point from where we can see the jal mahan but one cannot visit the mahal itself. There is a beautiful and colourful market place by this lake. It has a beautiful crowd in the evening but the lake is really dirty

Jal Mahal is a palace in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur city, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India. The palace was originally constructed in 1699; the building and the lake around it were later renovated and enlarged in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber. The Jal Mahal palace is an architectural showcase of the Rajput style of architecture on a grand scale, from Mughal architecture. The building has a picturesque view of Man Sagar Lake, but owing to its seclusion from land is equally the focus of a viewpoint from the Man Sagar Dam on the eastern side of the lake in front of the backdrop of the surrounding Nahargarh hills. The palace, built in red sandstone, is a five-storied building, of which four floors remain underwater when the lake is full and the top floor is exposed. One rectangular Chhatri on the roof is of the Bengal type. The chhatris on the four corners are octagonal. The palace had suffered subsidence in the past and also partial seepage (plasterwork and wall damage equivalent to rising damp) because of waterlogging, which have been repaired under a restoration project of the Government of Rajasthan. The hills surrounding the lake area, towards the north east of Jaipur, have quartzite rock formations (with a thin layer of soil cover), which is part of the Aravalli hills range. Rock exposures on the surface in some parts of the project area have also been used for constructing buildings. From the northeast, the Kanak Vrindavan valley, where a temple complex sits, the hills slope gently towards the lake edge. Within the lake area, the ground area is made up of a thick mantle of soil, blown sand, and alluvium. Forest denudation, particularly in the hilly areas, has caused soil erosion, compounded by wind and water action. As a result, silt built up in the lake incrementally raises the lake bed. On the terrace of the palace, a garden was built with arched passages. At each corner of this palace semi-octagonal towers were built with an elegant cupola. The restoration works of the early 2000s were not satisfactory and an expert in the field of similar architectural restoration works of Rajasthan palaces carefully examined the designs that could decipher the originally existing designs on the walls, after removing the recent plasterwork. Based on this finding, restoration works were re-done with traditional materials for plastering – the plaster consists of partly organic material: a mortar mix of lime, sand and surkhi mixed with jaggery, guggal and methi powder. It was also noticed that there was hardly any water seepage, except for a little dampness, on the floors below the water level. But the original garden, which existed on the terrace had been lost. Now, a new terrace is being created based on a similar roof garden of the Amer Palace. The building is located near the shoreline of a lake with a maximum depth of 15 ft. Though 4 stories of the building are under the surface of the water, they would be built into the bed of the lake.

Jal Mahal is a palace located in the middle of a lake in Jaipur. No tickets are required, and it can be viewed from the road. There are no boating or water activities available. Street stalls near the palace attract tourists.

It is a great location to go with friends and family and there are some people available that will click your pictures and wil provide you clothes as well. Visit in this location on morning or after 6 pm to enjoy a little better because the location is less crowded at this time.

It can only be sighted from far. You can't visit it. The periphery of the lake is beautifully developed, and a lot of street vendors are available there selling Rajasthani crafts, etc. It's a good tourist place to hang out. The mahal is beautiful, but not something to be in awe of.

It is a great place to visit as it is a magnificent place and the palace is located in the centre of the lake which is unique on its own and you can enjoy the spectacular view of the Mahal with some snacks available over there like chana masala and other items which you can purchase from the local venders over there

Nice place boating is available if you want to enjoy also good street food in front of jal mahal.

Jalmahal is also called Chaupati by locals peoples. One of the best visited place in Jaipur. Kite festival also celebrated there every year.

Good spot for photography, street food and kids. Lake is nit clean though. Thus was summer palace for kings, now its closed, you can see from the chaupati footpath.

Great tourist place. If u can, then take a boat from nearby to visit the monument. If not, that place is itself a beautiful place to click photos and spend some time.

A nice stoppage from Amer fort to pink city. Probably the only place without ticket in Rajasthan lol. So no boating is allowed, just a plaza is built on the bank which hosts hawkers and vendors. The water of the lake is visibly dirty but that's not very problematic as atleast it doesn't smell bad. NO NEED TO TAKE GUIDES OR SO. The vendors there offer handicrafts at reasonable rates. Bargain a little and you'll get best prices. It's not like the usual overpriced souvenir place. Winters may help you watch some migratory birds too. Not a lot though.

Good place better be

Beautiful palace but surroundings stink, big time.

Jal Mahal can be seen in the middle of a lake in Jaipur. Though it is not allowed to go inside the Mahal, the whole view of the Mahal in the middle of man sagar lake with hills in the background is picturesque. The whole stretch of the Jal Mahal has street shops including photographers who take photos in Rajasthani attire by renting the same. . . It takes around 45mins to 1hour to see the place depending upon the time you would like to spend. . . We visited in September 2019

Amazing views! No questions why tourists come from around the world to look at such a masterpiece. Don't forget to often deal with heavy traffic while reaching this place

Not clean government have to take some strict action about this .

It is a beautiful place

Dear visitors, please donot feed the fish. The water is heavily polluted by people throwing wheatballs and bread. The whole water near the banks of lake is covered with food and grains thrown by senseless people.

Good Place of Photography.

Really an amazing creativity of the history, first surprising thing is that the whole palace is in water and secondly there are large trees over the palace.

The place is under construction and you are not allowed inside the jal Mahal. It may take upto 6 months more for the place to be fully open for tourists. Speaking about the lake view , it's really beautiful in the evening . The lights give it a wonderful look.

Lovely palace!! Lies in the middle of Man sagar lake but unfortunately there is no provision of boat or other medium so that anyone can visit and explore it from near.

You can visit this place only if you have not visited till now. The lake is really very dirty. There is no proper sanitation is here. Very bad smell when you go near by to see the Jal mahal. But you can enjoy local shopping for your family here. After that you can visit the amer place and hawa mahal which is more better than this. Amer is very crowded during afternoon and evening. As this is the amazing palace to visit and click picture. You can use public transport like bike then you will be benefited.

Lovely

A beautiful location

Enjoy your evening here.. you will love it.. 😍

Not sure, what I saw there (at about thirty past ten of the last night of January '21) in the second blackened window of the palace. There was something rushing speedily with a flash of light, which on closer observation extinguished. We observed for further fifteen odd minutes, but the light didn't illuminate again. Not suggesting anything paranormal, but that was surely 'abnormal'.. or simply that could be some illusion of vision... cheers! :)

One of the nice place to visit... Traditional dress easily available for photo shoot... free Entry

Had it been a clean place...would look better and photogenic

This palace built in the middle of the water looks quite beautiful even from a distance. This place is good for walking. Here you can get photos in traditional clothes. Many people sit here by setting up their own shop, from whom we get very good and cheap items.

Mesmerising views. You can go anytime here, but Morning and sunset would be perfect.

good place for a evening walk.can click photos, buy some souvenir from the local vendors and can also decked up yourself in traditional rajasthani clothes. but bargaining is a must do thing.

Jalmahal very peaceful place in Jaipur please come and seee that.... I every time founds new things in this

It is good enough for just few minutes stay nothing special.I would rather suggest going for other options of sight seeing in Jaipur

Mindblowing view of jal mahal

Set in the middle of the picturesque Man Sagar Lake, Jal Mahal (Water Palace) in Jaipur is a spectacular structure that seems to be floating on the lake’s surface. An architectural marvel in itself, it is an embodiment of the engineering prowess of the Rajput period. The palace, which was built as a hunting lodge for the Maharajas of Jaipur, has now become one of the prime tourist attractions in the city. While planning your trip, don’t forget to book your hotels in Jaipur such that you have easy access to this magnificent palace and other forts and historical attractions in the city. Want to know more about this splendid heritage structure? Here is everything about the Jal Mahal Palace in Jaipur, including its history, architecture, timings, entry fee, and other details. Jal Mahal Information: Location Amer Road Type Palace Also Known as The Water Palace Timings Morning till evening; every day Entry Fee Not open to visitors; can only be viewed from the lake shore Still/Video Camera Free Architectural Style Rajput and Mughal styles of architecture Commissioned by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh Year of Construction 18th century Material Used Red Sandstone Jal Mahal, Jaipur: History Jal Mahal, one of the top places to visit in Jaipur, doesn’t have any recorded history about who built it or when. However, it is popularly believed that Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh constructed Jal Mahal in 1799 to serve as a hunting lodge during his duck shooting trips. Some people also credit Maharaja Madho Singh I for the construction of this palace and date its origins back to the 1750s. Regardless of who built the palace, it was never meant to be used as a regular palace for living. Later, the palace was renovated by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber in the 18th century. Over the years, the structure suffered subsidence due to partial seepage of lake water and waterlogging issues. After several years of deterioration and neglect, renovation works were carried out in the early part of the 21st century to restore the palace into its former glory. Though the palace and many of its features have been restored, its original terrace garden could not be salvaged. Plans are on to create a new terrace garden modeled on the rooftop garden of the famous Amer Palace in Jaipur. Jal Mahal Architecture Jal Mahal stands in the middle of a lake that has a maximum depth of 15 feet and a minimum depth of 4.9 feet. It is a five-storied structure built in the Rajput style of architecture, with influences of the Mughal architectural style. While four of its stories remain under water, only the top story remains visible, giving you an impression that the palace is floating on the waters of the lake. Jal Mahal has been constructed out of red sandstone. Four elaborate chhatris designed in octagonal shape adorn the four corners of the palace. A huge Bengal-style rectangular chhatri also exists on the roof of the palace. In its heyday, the terrace garden of Jal Mahal was decorated with arched passages. Jal Mahal, Jaipur: Today Today, a visit to Jal Mahal counts among the top things to do in Jaipur. The alluring view of the palace against the backdrop of the verdant Aravalli Hills is a sight to cherish. No wonder, the Jal Mahal Palace in Jaipur is among the most photographed structures in India. It is also a paradise for bird watchers as various species of local and migratory birds flock to this lake. As the palace remains submerged in a lake, a boat ride is the only way to reach it. The palace has been declared a protected property by the government, so boat rides and entry to the palace premises are restricted at present. However, you can spend hours admiring and photographing the palace from the lake shore. Every evening, the palace is illuminated for some time and the lit-up palace against the dark waters of the lake is indeed a sight to behold. The Jal Mahal Palace is located on the Amer Road, so you can combine it with your trip to the iconic Amer Fort. Lesser Known Facts about Jal Mahal, Jaipur The fascinating terrace garden of the Jal Mahal is known as C

Evening time is best to visit this place. You can enjoy chaat pakodi etc.

Because the place is so dirty. I think the government has to be taken action's on that.

Very nice place for tourists

This place is built in middle of water a great looking place

💯💯

Super

Great rajasthan

Nice place to visit

Nice place but lack of hygiene the water is so dirty

Best time to visit this place is in the evening. One can not go near or enter this place as this Mahal is located in the middle of the Lake. There is place for the visitors on the bank of the Lake just beside the road to enjoy the view of this place. This can be planned during the visit to Amer fort as this is on the way. Probably a beautiful place of the evening to spend some time in your Jaipur visit.

Though there is no official record of the exact period of origin of Jal Mahal, legend has it that it was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, whose idea behind building this palace was to use it as a hunting lodge for his duck shooting adventures and not as a palace to stay. The origin of the lake can also be attributed to him as it was formed when a dam was constructed between the hills which led to the formation of the lake. Another legend says that it was built by Maharaja Madho Singh in the 1750s to serve as a hunting lodge. His son Madho Singh II had a big role to play in enhancing the interiors of Jal Mahal during the 18th century when he added the courtyard grounds which are still a part of this palace. Jal Mahal and the lake around it were given a makeover by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amer in the eighteenth century. Later years saw the facade of this heritage site deprecating due to sewage and water logging and restoration work was undertaken again to bring the palace to its current glorious state. Though there are trees atop the terrace of the place, the garden hasn’t been made to look like it was in its days of glory, including the arched gateways which used to be there at the terrace. However, plans are underway to recreate a rooftop garden here on the likes of the one at Amer Palace in Jaipur. Well, we'll review about it later once its open for public. The place is not clean so deducted one star for that. Since a regular tourist is not allowed to visit Jal Mahal and the entry to the place was restricted for the public, it does not take more than an hour to see it from the banks of Sagar lake. During the days when the palace was open for tourist visits, gondolas ferried over the lake, carrying the tourists over to the palace, giving them a chance to enjoy a romantic ride over the lake You can do a lot of Bird Watching around the corners and photography is one of the major activities one can indulge in. Gypsy Tip: Find a perfect spot away from the crowd as it looks the same from every angle. The palace is located 4 km north of the main city of Jaipur, on the main Jaipur-Amer road. When planning your itinerary for the palace, most tourists also include a trip to the Amer Fort which is located at a distance of 8 km from it. There is no entry fee and you can visit it during the day time from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The chhatris on the four corners are octagonal. The palace had suffered subsidence in the past and also partial seepage (plaster work and wall damage equivalent to rising damp) because of water logging, which have been repaired under a restoration project of the Government of Rajasthan.[2] The hills surrounding the lake area, towards the north east of Jaipur, have quartzite rock formations (with a thin layer of soil cover), which is part of the Aravalli hills range. Rock exposures on the surface in some parts of the project area have also been used for constructing buildings. From the northeast, the Kanak Vrindavan valley, where a temple complex sits, the hills slope gently towards the lake edge. Within the lake area, the ground area is made up of a thick mantle of soil, blown sand, and alluvium. Forest denudation, particularly in the hilly areas, has caused soil erosion, compounded by wind and water action. As a result, silt built up in the lake incrementally raises the lake bed.[3] On the terrace of the palace, a garden was built with arched passages. At each corner of this palace semi-octagonal towers were built with an elegant cupola.[4] The restoration works of the early 2000s were not satisfactory and an expert in the field of similar architectural restoration works of Rajasthan palaces carefully examined the designs that could decipher the originally existing designs on the walls, after removing the recent plasterwork. Based on this finding, restoration works were re-done with traditional materials for plastering – the plaster consists of partly organic material: a mortar mix of lime, sand and surkhi mixed with jaggery, guggal and methi powder. It was also noticed that there was hardly any water seepage, except for a little dampness, on the floors below the water level. But the original garden, which existed on the terrace had been lost. Now, a new terrace is being created based on a similar roof garden of the Amer Palace.[1] The building is located near the shoreline of a lake with a maximum depth of 15 ft. As the 4 stories of the building are built under the water, this means it would be structured on the bottom of the lake.

A beautiful architecture in the middle of the sea. The place gets very crowed in the evening. If you want less crowd, then visit this place at early morning between 6 to 8 am. There is also a light show which takes place in the night.

A fabulous monument, good to see this as it has a great history. Tremendously perfect place for the peace and happiness.

Beautiful, peaceful and scenic. The beauty of the place comes out best in evenings though and early morning visit would be delightful for sure. You can feed the fish but I felt that the fish were pretty overfed. You can feed the ducks but they hardly come to the shore. You can see interesting birds like Flamingo and Crane sitting on one leg in the water

Nice place for quick visit. On the road to Amer fort. Beautiful view of the palace inside tge lake surrounded by hills. A must visit place in Jaipur. Worth visiting in any season except the Summer, when the water level decreases and the view is not as eyesoothing as in other seasons. There is no tickets for visiting this place.

If in Jaipur, do take your time out for this amazing birdwatching and a view of an amazing engineering structure. You can see different types of birds in the pond area. It's really good experience during morning and evenings as you can have sunrise/sunset and a pleasant environment. During the day/afternoon its a little crowded here. People also come here for clicking pictures of birds and palace. The Mahal is 2 floors above water as well as below it. Do consult a guide to know about the history of the place. There is a museum next to the Jalmahal, you can go there also. In the nearby areas, you can get things for shopping as well as snacks along with sightseeing.

It's a beautiful palace located in a lake. The best time to visit is the sunrise. You can only watch it from a distance and can't go inside the lake. A lot of wedding photoshoots are done here, so don't disturb there. If you really want to enjoy the place, just sit there in early morning or go behind the lake using the jogging track. There are some ruins of a dam there. A lot of people cycle to jal mahal early morning and you can try this to.

Jal Mahal literally meaning as water Palace. Beauty of the Palace lies in its location amidst the Man Sagar Lake...😄😌 It was calm and good vibe their. Direct Buses are available from Hawa Mahal to Jal Mahal. There is no entry ticket. Thank you:)

The view and location is good but it not maintained, miss managed, area was not cleaned . Jal ( water) was very poor, smell was everywhere. Only good for taking photos and all

A palace floating in a lake. The places in and around need cleanliness. People visiting this should think of maintaining it properly and clean. A must visit place in Jaipur.

The view of the palace in the lake is nice if you can make abstraction of how the lake is dirty and polluted.

We had a great evening at the Jal Mahal area. We went to visit the evening Night Market at Jal Mahal where a lot of PPL had gathered. It was an open market with events and lively people performing different types of art.

One of the filthiest places I have visited and I am shocked that such a beautiful heritage area has been reduced to a garbage heap. Every corner was strewn with garbage and filth and the water walls on the border of the lake were had fallen off and in a dilapidated state. The Jal Mahal itself is quite beautiful but the promenade near it is in shambles and the agency that is paid to keep the place clean, needs to be penalized for doing such a terrible job.

The evening destination under the lights. Jal Mahal is situated on middle of the lake. U can't go inside. Just watch from the edge of the lake. No tickets need for the visit.

I would recommend you to visit this place at evenings as the lighting is so beautiful. You can't go inside the palace and take a look. They also have various shops here and also Rajasthani style dresses to do a photoshoot, kindly don't miss it. The palace, seemingly floating on Man Sagar Lake, is a captivating sight. Its architectural elegance, with a blend of Rajput and Mughal styles, creates a picturesque backdrop. The tranquil surroundings and the chance to appreciate the intricate details of Jal Mahal made the trip enjoyable. It's a serene escape within the bustling city, offering a unique perspective on Jaipur's architectural heritage.

Nice place to spend time with family and friends No ticket facility.. Parking facility available.. Street food available.... Photo shoot of Rajasthan style available.... Open till 10 pm... Near amber palace road... Recommended to visit... Night experience must try 🙂

Best place to visit. I was in Jaipur for 2 days for a business event. Went to this popular place in the evening, but, this place was so good the weather was very good not too cold not at all hot. The night view was very good especially the moon color was orange which added grace to this place.

Jaipur, often referred to as the "Pink City" due to the distinct color of its historic buildings, is a city steeped in rich history and architectural splendor. Among the many landmarks that adorn this city, Jal Mahal stands out as a unique and captivating masterpiece. This review aims to delve into the intricate details, historical significance, architectural marvel, and overall experience of visiting Jal Mahal in Jaipur. **Introduction:** Jal Mahal, literally translated as the "Water Palace," is a breathtaking palace located in the midst of the Man Sagar Lake, just outside Jaipur. Its picturesque setting amidst the tranquil waters makes it a sight to behold and an essential stop for any traveler exploring the city. The palace is a five-story structure, with four levels submerged in the lake's waters during the monsoon season, giving the illusion of floating on the lake. **Historical Significance:** Built during the 18th century, during the reign of Maharaja Madho Singh I, Jal Mahal was intended to serve as a leisure retreat for the royal family and their entourage. The palace's location in the center of the lake allowed for privacy and exclusivity, creating an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling city. **Architectural Marvel:** Jal Mahal seamlessly blends elements of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles, resulting in a harmonious and captivating design. The palace's lower levels are made of red sandstone, a hallmark of Rajput architecture, while the upper floors exhibit delicate Mughal-style ornamental work. This unique fusion of styles showcases the cultural synthesis that was prevalent during that era. **Design and Layout:** The palace's design is a symphony of intricate details and thoughtful planning. The chhatris (domed pavilions) on the rooftop are adorned with lotus motifs and elegantly carved jali (lattice) screens, allowing for ventilation and a play of light and shadow. The chhatri on the central dome is particularly impressive, acting as the crown jewel of the palace's design. **Natural Integration:** What truly sets Jal Mahal apart is its remarkable integration with the natural environment. The palace seems to rise organically from the lake's waters, with its reflection creating a mesmerizing mirror image on the still surface. The surrounding Aravalli hills and the lush greenery further enhance the ethereal beauty of the scene. **Conservation Efforts:** Over the years, Jal Mahal faced significant challenges due to environmental degradation and neglect. The lake's pollution and the deterioration of the palace's structure raised concerns about its survival. However, conservation efforts have been initiated to restore the palace to its former glory. This includes cleaning the lake, restoring the architectural elements, and implementing measures to control pollution. **Visitor Experience:** Visiting Jal Mahal is a sensory delight. The journey to the palace involves a leisurely drive through the bustling city, followed by a tranquil boat ride on the lake to reach the palace. The view of the palace against the backdrop of the Aravalli hills during sunrise or sunset is a sight that leaves a lasting impression. The palace isn't open to the public for exploration inside, but its exterior beauty and the surrounding scenery offer ample opportunities for photography and contemplation. **Cultural Significance:** Jal Mahal stands as a testament to Jaipur's architectural prowess and cultural heritage. It embodies the opulence and refinement of the bygone era, offering a glimpse into the extravagant lifestyle of the royals. The palace's location also serves as a reminder of the Maharajas' connection with nature and their ability to create harmonious retreats within the urban landscape. **Conclusion:** In conclusion, Jal Mahal is more than just a palace; it's a living testament to the creative genius of the architects of its time. Its blend of architectural styles, integration with nature, and historical significance make it a jewel in Jaipur's crown. A visit to Jal Mahal is an immersive experience that transp

A nice place for photography, pre-wedding shoots or other shoots can perform there. The evening view is much better for pictures.
