Overview

City Palace Jaipur – A Majestic Blend of Royal Heritage and Architectural Brilliance

City Palace, located in the vibrant old city of Jaipur, is one of Rajasthan’s most magnificent royal complexes and a centerpiece of the Pink City’s architectural heritage.
Built in the early 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the palace beautifully blends Rajput, Mughal, and European architectural styles and serves as both a royal residence and a historical museum.

Architectural Grandeur and Iconic Structures

Spread across sprawling courtyards, lush gardens, and intricately designed halls, the complex reflects the luxurious lifestyle of the Kachwaha rulers.
Key attractions include Mubarak Mahal, Chandra Mahal, Pritam Niwas Chowk, Sabha Niwas, and the stunning Diwan-i-Khas, each adorned with frescoes, arches, artwork, and centuries-old artifacts.

Chandra Mahal – The Royal Residence

One of the most remarkable features is the seven-story Chandra Mahal, which remains the private residence of the Jaipur royal family.
Visitors can explore select areas, including royal galleries and terraces offering panoramic views of Jaipur’s old city and the surrounding hills.

A Museum of Royal Treasures

The City Palace museum showcases an extraordinary collection of royal garments, antique weapons, manuscripts, textiles, and miniature paintings.
The four iconic seasonal gates at Pritam Niwas Chowk—Peacock Gate, Lotus Gate, Rose Gate, and Green Gate—are among the most photographed spots in Jaipur and symbolize Rajasthan’s cultural richness.
