The City Palace (Jaipur) is an awesome specimen of architectural brilliance in the city of Jaipur. The Royal Palace was built in the 18th century by the Maharaja Jai Singh II, who was the Rajput king of Amber. Some of the special features such as Magnificent Pillars, Lattice or Jali work, carved marble interiors and inlaid ornamentation make the palace beautiful in appearance and a treat to watch for the visitors.

The City Palace, Jaipur, is a royal residence and former administrative headquarters of the rulers of the Jaipur state in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Construction started soon after the establishment of the city of Jaipur under the reign of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, who moved his court to Jaipur from Amber in 1727. Jaipur remained the capital of the kingdom until 1949—when it became the capital of the present-day Indian state of Rajasthan—with the city palace functioning as the ceremonial and administrative seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur. The construction of the palace was completed in 1732, and it was also the location of religious and cultural events, as well as a patron of arts, commerce, and industry. It was constructed according to the rules of vastushastra, combining elements of Mughal and Rajput architectural styles. It now houses the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum and continues to be the home of the Jaipur royal family. The City Palace is in the central-northeast part of Jaipur city, which is laid in a unique pattern with wide avenues. It is a unique and special complex of several courtyards, buildings, pavilions, gardens, and temples. The most prominent and most visited structures in the complex are the Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, Shri Govind Dev temple, and the Palace Museum.
