Jal Mahal ("Water Palace") is an 18th century pleasure palace and is located in Jaipur (Capital of Rajasthan State). The palace is amidst Mansagar lake, which is nestled amongst the Nahargarh hills. The Jal Mahal Palace, Jaipur is noted for its sophisticated design and grand architecture. The first four floors of this building is under water, only the top floor remains outside. This image has been shot enroute the Nahargarh Fort which was built in 1799 and from which one gets a nice view of the Palace, Lake and surrounding areas. The palace itself is now abandoned, but reasonably well preserved.
