Travelling to
Jaipur
Rajasthan
Loading…Royal residence in the heart of Jaipur's walled city, partly still home to the former ruling family, with museum galleries in its courtyards.
Founded by Sawai Jai Singh II when he laid out Jaipur in the 1720s, the palace mixes Rajput, Mughal and European elements. Visitors see the Mubarak Mahal textile gallery, armoury, Diwan-i-Khas with its giant silver urns, and the Pritam Niwas Chowk with its four seasonal gateways. The seven-storey Chandra Mahal is a private residence open only on special paid tours. It is run by the royal family's museum trust.
