Near the cenotaphs of the maharanis of Jaipur, and beautifully situated in the watery expanse of Man Sagar, is this dreamlike palace. Its origins are uncertain, but it was believed to have been extensively restored if not built by Jai Singh II (1734). It’s currently undergoing restoration under the auspices of the Jal Tarang (www.jaltarang.in) project.
