PHOOL MAHAL PALACE (KISHANGARH - RAJASTHAN)
 Constructed in 1872 by Maharaja Prithvi Singh of Kishangarh, this lovely palace
was built on a garden, very popularly shown in several Miniature paintings of
the famous Kishangarh School.
The majestic Fort of Kishangarh with a moat surrounding forms its backdrop and
the Gundalao lake with its myriad bird life, its front.
Now restored and converted into a hotel by the present Maharaja, it is an ideal
stop over in the centre of Rajasthan. Kishangarh is world famous for its early
18th century school of Miniature Paintings. Even now, several thousand artists
paint on various surfaces in this style and can be viewed. Kishangarh also is
the largest centre for marble and granite cutting and polishing in the country. |
