Jal Mahal, Palace on artificial island in Jaipur, India
The Jal Mahal rises from the waters of Man Sagar Lake, with four floors submerged and one visible level above the water surface.
Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh commissioned the construction of this palace in 1799 as a hunting lodge and summer retreat for the royal family.
The palace incorporates Rajput and Mughal architectural elements, featuring red sandstone walls, carved arches, and traditional Bengali-style roofs with corner chhatris.
Visitors can view the palace from the promenade along Man Sagar Lake during daytime hours, though interior access remains restricted to the public.
During monsoon season, when the lake water rises, the palace appears to float magically on the surface, creating a mirror image in the calm waters.
