Jal Mahal is a lovely palace made in true Rajputi style. Its glory lies in the fact that it was built in the middle of a lake — hence the name. The Man Sagar Lake laps around the ramparts of this gorgeous piece of architecture and the temperature always remains controlled whatever the season may be. The red sand stone adds a ruddy sheen to its interiors, while its grandness makes it loom larger than life. Many migratory birds find this palace as their home for the season, while flora and fauna too bloom undisturbed.
