Suchit Nanda (suchitnanda) > 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.

Suchit Nanda (suchitnanda) > The Jaigarh Fort which is about 10 kms from Nahargarh Fort at the outskirts of Jaipur houses world's largest canon which can fire up to a distance of 22 kms! This canon has been used only once and I'm told that it created a sizable hole in the ground!

Suchit Nanda (suchitnanda) > The state of Rajasthan is located in the Western part of India. Sand dunes, wooded hills, and amazing lakes & palaces come together with men & women in colourful turbans & skits to make a visit enchanting. The mood & rhythm changes from one region to the other but what hits you most is the warm and friendly smiles across the region. Some of the major tourists destinations of Pushkar, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur & Jaipur are located in this State as also some of the best wildlife sanctuaries. The history of Rajasthan dates back to 5,000 years and the heritage & rich landscape reflects the past glories of the Rajas and their palaces. While the big cities are fast moving towards a westernized life-style, its the villages and outskirts that have still retained the traditional ways. Definately worth a visit. Best time is around Aug to Oct. Time it with one of the major fairs (such as Pushkar Mela in Feb) and you will have a unique and unforgettable experience for sure.
