Jal Mahal
The Jal Mahal, or "Water Palace", is a five-story palace built in the middle of Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur, India. The palace is built entirely of red sandstone and is a combination of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles. The palace is one of the most popular attractions in Jaipur.
The palace was originally intended to be a hunting lodge for the local king. However, in the 16th century, a severe drought caused the locals to build a dam, which created a lake that submerged the lower portions of the lodge. The palace's stone walls hold back millions of liters of water, and the specially designed lime mortar prevents water seepage into the palace. The palace's top floor is visible above the water, giving the impression that the palace is floating on the lake.
The palace was commissioned by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 18th century.
