Jal Mahal in Jaipur is known for its wonderful design and grand architecture, it is one of its own kind palace which is situated in middle of Lake Masagar. Once upon a time it use to be the residence of prime ministers of Jaipur and a spot know for royal duck hunting. It has hosted many royal parties in 18th and 19th century. Just like other forts and palaces this palace is also made up of red sandstone. Four floors of Jal Mahal remain under water and only 2 floors remain outside which I guess shows the majestic and really sophisticated design of the palace.
