Along the road to Agra through a narrow gorge in the South-Eastern
corner of the walled city, several landscaped gardens were
constructed by the kings and important courtiers in the 18th
and 19th centuries. The largest and the most famous amongst
these is a garden built by Sawai Jai Singh II for his Sisodia
Queen - The Sisodia Rani-ka-Bagh. It consists of tiered multilevel
gardens with fountains, watercourses and painted pavilions.
Amongst others, the best-preserved one is Vidyadhar-ka-Bagh,
constructed by the builder of the city, Vidyadhar, with shady
trees, flowing water, an open pavilion and suites of living rooms.
