| Exquisite land
scaped gardens are stretched at various places
in Jaipur. Some of these gardens which were
laid down during the time of maharajas have
been renovated. Fountains, watercourses, painted
pavilions add to their beauty. The garden
at the foothills of Nahargarh and located
in the city is very beautiful and a good picnic
spot.
Like palaces and forts some gardens at
Jaipur bear a strong resemblance with those
laid down by mughal emperors. The stepped
gardens of Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh resemble
mughal gardens in many ways. The garden
is considered to be a symbol of love as
the Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh made it for
his queen.
A lush spacious garden with a zoo, an aviary,
a greenhouse, a herbarium , a museum and
popular sport ground called Ram Niwas Bagh
constitutes the zoological garden of Jaipur.
The garden houses many animals and birds.
Sisodia Rani
Ka Bagh
Built by Raja Sawai Jai Singh, the founder
of Jaipur, in 1728, Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh
was built as a gift by the royal groom to
his Sisodia Queen from Udaipur. Depicting
the theme based on the legends of eternal
lovers - Lord Krishna and his soul beloved
Radha, the garden is laid in Mughal style,
8 km from Jaipur on the way to Agra. The
gardens appeal to the aesthetic and visual
tastes of the onlooker with its multi-tiered
gardens, most elegant and graceful fountains
and watercourses, painted pavilions and
galleries and most exotic murals of Lord
Krishna in all sorts of poses taken from
his lifetime.
Vidyadhar
Gardens
A beautiful vineyard situated very near
the famous Sisodia Gardens of Jaipur, Vidyadhar
Gardens is perhaps the best-preserved garden
of Jaipur. Named after Vidyadhar Bhatacharjee,
the celebrated architect and town planner
of Jaipur, it is tastefully situated in
a narrow valley, thus, offering it the advantage
of being surrounded by lush green mountains
that provide some of the most exotic views
of the region and are certainly a credit
to the eyes of the beholder.
