Sisodiya Rani Bagh

Sisodia Rani Udyaan and Palace is a palace garden 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the city of Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1728. The garden consists of multi-level gardens adorned with fountains, water pools and painted pavilions. A two-storey palace is built at the top of the garden. The palace has several galleries, pavilions and murals depicting scenes from the life of Lord Krishna. The palace is located on the Jaipur Agra Highway.

Importance of Sisodia Rani ka Bagh for Rajput Architecture
Sisodia Rani ka Bagh is a quintessence of Rajput gardening. It is the culmination of traditional Rajasthani art and architecture. The landscape is a terraced composition, with pavilions. The Rajputs sought to achieve grandeur amidst natural beauty. The impression of luxury and aesthetic gratification is created through use of water channels, fountains, and painted pavilions, which forms the garden as an archaic landmark in Jaipur's architectural heritage.

Sisodia Rani ka Bagh is a Monumental Marvel of Architecture
the architecture of Sisodia Rani ka Bagh is a mix of both Rajput and Mughal influences. It has tiered gardens, running water channels, and multicolored murals with scenes from Hindu epics. The central characteristic of the garden is a range of pavilions frescoed with images of Radha and Krishna-embodiments of love and devotion. The whole design of the garden-its watercourses and its flower beds-gives one a cooling effect, keeping the queen cool in summers.

Design and Layout
Sisodia Rani ka Bagh is comprised of various levels of terraces with fountains, water courses, and colorful flower beds on each side. On the center side are lavish paintings of pavilions that contain images of Radha-Krishna which describe the love of gods. The chhatris or small domed pavilions and arched entrance gates provide a wonderful view of the surrounding regions.
