Jal Mahal or "Water Palace" was built by Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799 in the midst of picturesque Man Sagar Lake, as summer resort and pleasure spot. It lies on the way to Amber, about 6 kms. from Jaipur. A paved causeway leads up to the beautiful palace, witch is noteworthy of its fascinating architecture and serene surroundings.
The Man Sagar Lake was formed by constructing a dam between the two hills by Sawai Man Singh II for meeting the growing demand of water in Jaipur city. During winters various species of migratory birds flock to his lake.
