This low-rise symmetrical palace, that once was a shooting lodge for the Maharajah, appears to float in the centre of Sagar Lake. The light sand coloured stone walls of the Jal Mahal Jaipur are at a stark contrast to the deep blue of the waters of the lake, while from the innards of the palace lush foliage sprouts.

Throughout its history, this fort never faced any attack. However, it has remained witness to several significant events in the past that took place within its premises, including the signing of truces with the Maratha armies in the 18th century.
