Jaipur is quite famous for its beautiful forts and lakes, but how would you like to visit a beautiful lush green garden in the capital of Rajasthan? Seeing a green patch in the midst of barren dry land, one cannot help but be surprised at the contrast and this is exactly how one feels as one looks at the Sisodia Rani ka Bagh in Jaipur.

The Sisodia Rani ka Bagh was built for Sawai Jai Singh's wife, Sisodia Queen who was from Udaipur. The garden is located on the Jaipur-Agra Road and is about 10 kms from Jaipur.

The Garden is laid out in the Mughal style and is a tiered multi-level garden, which has fountains, water channels and many painted pavilions.

The garden was the perfect place for the queen to enjoy the beautiful landscape, cool breeze and fresh air. Many say, the garden was built as a cure to the Queen's homesickness but some insist the Queen found the gardens to be the perfect place to escape Court intrigues. Regardless of the reason for its construction, one cannot deny the beauty and charm of this magnificent garden.

The reason the Sisodia Rani ka Bagh garden is so captivating is because it not only displays the skill of a human hand but also the beauty of nature that very often goes unappreciated. Its murals and paintings vividly depict the legends of Radha-Krishna and it has many scenes and murals that depict the frolicking Krishna in his youth and various hunting scenes. And of course, it has green grass, and various kinds of plants including many flowering and fragrant shrubs.

The garden may have been a summer retreat for the royalty and nobility in the 18th and 19th century but now we all can enjoy the refreshing air and fragrance of the garden.

If you are a city-dweller then this is truly a feast for the eyes, since such greenery and clean surroundings are hard to find in the cities. So, if you badly need a break and want to visit the Sisodia Rani ka Bagh, then come to Jaipur in Rajasthan and check out the beauty of the garden with your own eyes. You can also check out the natural springs that lie on the way to Galta and pay your respects at the temples of Lord Vishnu, Hanuman and Shiva.
