The City Palace of Jaipur is a fine interplay of traditional Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. The stupendous palace complex occupies one seventh of the walled city of Jaipur. The palace was originally built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of the Kachhwaha clan of Rajputs, and the later additions were made by his successors. The complex has well defined courtyards, flourishing gardens and buildings. It houses several palatial structures like the Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, Badal Mahal, Shri Govind Dev Temple and the City Palace Museum.
