City Palace - Jaipur
About City Palace
The City Palace of Jaipur lies in the heart of the pink city. With architectural décor of arched, pillared halls and courtyards with painted doorways this palace is one of the best examples of witnessing a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal art and architecture. In the heart of the old Jaipur city, the City Palace occupies a large area divided into a series of courtyards, gardens and buildings. Jai Singh built the outer wall but other additions were made much later, some right up to the start of this century. The former Maharaja still lives in part of the palace. The City Palace sprawls over one-seventh of the area of the walled city. It houses the Chandra Mahal, Shri Govind Dev Temple and the City Palace
