The City Palace of Jaipur is the architectural blend of 3 amazing cultures – Rajputs, Mughals and Europeans. It was built during the reign of Sawai Jai Singh II who was the Ruler of Amer (Amber). A true connoisseur of art and architecture, his architectural prowess and enthusiasm is clearly evident in the making of the palace complex – the City Palace which also houses the Mubarak Mahal and the Chandra Mahal, along with palatial gardens, courtyards, fountains and other buildings.
As was the trend of those times the gates were made very beautiful with lots of filigree work on them. The major gates allowing entrance to the City Palace are Virendra Pol, Udai Pol and the Tripolia Gate. There are 4 inner gates also within the City Palace complex that lead to the inner courtyard before the entrance to Chandra Mahal. Each has their own distinctive characteristic in them – Pitam Niwas Gate, Peacock Gate. Lehariya Gate, Rose Petal Gate.
Besides these one can also see the Diwan-E-Khas and Diwan-E-Aam, the Maharani Palace, Bhaggi Khana and the Govind Devji Temple built within the complex.
