Jaipur: Monuments and Historic Buildings

Sisodia Rani Palace and Garden is situated on the Jaipur-Agra highway about 10 kilometers from Jaipur. This was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh in 1728 as a gift to his Sisodia Queen from Udaipur.

This palace served as a getaway and natural sanctum for the Queen. She used to spend time in nature, away from the political schemes of the royal palace. There are an exquisite variety of plants and fragrant shrubs in this garden.

The garden has an aesthetic appeal due to the galleries, painted pavilions, fascinating fountains and layered gardens. The theme of eternal lovers, Radha-Krishna is the basis of this place.

There are interesting murals that portray the scenes of Radha and Krishna. This garden was constructed as a symbol of love and for many centuries was a good retreat for the royals.
