Chandra Mahal, part of the Jaipur City Palace complex in Rajasthan, India, is renowned for its exquisite blend of Rajput, Mughal, and European architectural styles. Built in the 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, Chandra Mahal remains the residence of the Jaipur royal family. It features seven floors, each with distinct themes and purposes, including the Mukut Mahal (Palace of the Crown), where the current Maharaja’s private chambers are located. The palace is famous for its intricate decorations, including hand-painted ceilings, ornate doorways, and the elegant Peacock Gate (Pitam Niwas Chowk), which symbolizes beauty and grace. Chandra Mahal stands as a testament to Jaipur’s royal heritage and architectural splendor, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Maharajas of Jaipur.
