Among the many heart-warming wonders of the Pink City Jaipur is the beautifully landscaped palace garden called Sisodia Rani ka Bagh. Constructed in 1728, this palace garden was a gift from Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh to his beloved queen Sisodia after whom the place gets its name. Multi-tired gardens adorned with flowerbeds, shrubs and lush foliage is a mesmerizing treat to the eyes.
The top tier of the garden accommodates a two-storey palace, well-known for its spectacular murals that depict the eternal love story of Lord Krishna and Radha. Painted pavilions of the palace add to its grandeur. Fountains and water channels form a distinguished part of the garden, laid in the Mughal style with the blend of Indian elements as well.
One can also find natural springs dotting the garden which is also home to the shrines dedicated to the Hindu deities like Shiva, Vishnu and Hanuman. Away from the city crowd, it is one perfect corner to spend some peaceful moments.
