Near the cenotaphs of the maharanis of Jaipur, and beautifully situated in the watery expanse of Man Sagar, is the beautiful Jal Mahal. It was built in 1799 by Madho Singh as a summer resort for the royal family, which they used to base duck-hunting parties. It’s accessed via a causeway at the rear, and is currently undergoing restoration for tourism under the auspices of the Jal Tarang (www.jaltarang.in) project.
