City Palace, Palace museum in Jaipur, India.

The City Palace spans one-seventh of the old city with multiple courtyards, halls, and buildings exhibiting Rajput and Mughal architectural designs.

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II commissioned architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya to construct this residence in 1732 as the seat of the Kachwaha Rajput clan.

The Diwan-i-Galleria museum within the palace complex displays fifteenth-century weapons, Kashmiri Pashmina shawls, and regional cultural artifacts.

The palace divides into public areas featuring museums and galleries, while the Chandra Mahal section remains a private royal residence.

The fifth floor of Chandra Mahal, known as Chhavi Nivas, contains the Image Gallery with special visual effects during monsoon season.
