On the road to Bharatpur stands one of many palaces built for the ranis, or queens, of Sawai Jai Singh II. Built in 1779, the palace still looks lovely against the backdrop of the hills. Its terraced garden is punctuated with fountains, and the palace itself is furnished with murals illustrating hunting scenes and the romantic legend of Krishna and Radha. From the terrace, you can see dancing peacocks and plenty of monkeys. Come during the day, as the site is often reserved for weddings and parties at night.
