Monsoon Palace, Hilltop palace in Udaipur, India

The white marble palace stands at 944 meters above sea level on Bansdara Peak of the Aravalli Range overlooking the entire city.

Maharana Sajjan Singh initiated construction of this palace in the 19th century, originally named Sajjangarh Fort after its founder.

The palace incorporates traditional Rajasthani architectural elements with tall pillars decorated with floral patterns and carved marble stone work throughout.

The palace opens daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and requires an 8-kilometer journey from central Udaypur to reach its hilltop location.

The nine-story structure functioned as an astronomical center to track monsoon clouds and includes a complex water harvesting system.
