Jal Mahal was built by Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799 A.D. in the midst of the Man Sagar lake as a
pleasure spot. The lake was formed by construcing a dam between the two hills by Sawai Man Singh
I. During the winter months one can see a large number of migratory birds at the lake. The Palace
itself is not open to the public, but the location is great for an early morning or evening walk.
