white marble. The palace was built in the 17th century on a natural foundation
of 4 acers of rock. It was initially called Jaginwas after its founder Maharana
Jagjit Singh . The Maharana, ruler of Jaipur from 1628 to 1654, was very
friendly with Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and encouraged his craftsmen to copy

and gardens all add to its impressive image. The rooms are decorated with cusped
arches, inland stones of pink, and green lotus leaves and painted mirrors.
