History

Maharaja Madho Singh I build the Jal Mahal to serve as a lodge for his duck hunting parties. The Mahal is a proof to the bond that was established between the Rajput’s and Mughal Empire. The architecture of the palace has the affinity of both types of construction. Many generations of Maharajas upgraded the beauty of the palace.
