The City Palace of Jaipur combines traditional Rajasthan and Mughal architecture. The vast
palace complex occupies one seventh of the walled city of Jaipur. Originally built by Maharaja
Jai Singh II of the Kachhwaha clan of Rajputs, additions have been made to the palace complex
by many of his successors.

The Palace consists of courtyards, gardens, palatial residential wings and temples. Today,
three galleries are housed in the palace; art, textiles and armory, showcasing some of the
prized possesions of the royal family. Also on display are the two largest silver vessels in
the world figured in the Guinness Book of World Records. These were used for carrying water
from the holy Ganges for personal use, by Madho Singh II on his journey to England.
There are many arches in the complex, each a bright mix of hues and colors and make a great
picture spot.
