There are several distinctive lush green
gardens in the city. Maharaja Sawai Jai
Singh II planned the city, and he stressed
on maintaining gardens in the city. Most of the
gardens were dedicated to the queens like
the famous Sisodia Rani ka Bagh. This
beautiful garden was constructed for the
second wife of Jai Singh II. The garden is
decorated with abundant trees, fountains, and
beautifully painted pavilions. This is the
largest garden amongst all, and is situated
at a distance of about 6 km. It was
constructed in 19th century.
An alluring garden was formed in the
memories of Vidhyadar Bhattacharya, the
architect of this beautiful city. The garden
was planned following the architectural
techniques of Vidhyadar. This is the only
planned garden of the city, which is still
the way it was, in that era. The garden is
enhanced by fountains, flowerbeds and
several galleries, pavilions, frescos
depicting Lord Krishna and shady trees. The
charm increases as more visits are registered
by peacocks and monkeys. The view during the
sunset is awesome in the garden. It is situated
about 6 km from the city centre, on the way to Galta on Agra road. This garden was once the
vineyard belonging to the regality.
Ram Niwas Bagh is situated near to the city
centre. It was built in 1868 A.D by Sawai
Ram Singh II, for the purpose of drought
relief and as per the records it took four
lakhs to create this historical garden. The
garden is one of the main attractions of
the city as it contains several monuments like, the Zoo, the Albert
Hall, the
Museum, the Zoological Park, sports complex,
etc. The Zoological Park is also renowned
for crocodile breeding. Albert Hall is a
museum and it holds a collection of about
19000 objects. The Zoo is a home for varied
varieties of birds and animals, and is
renowned for its collection of 71 varieties
of fauna. Ravindra Manch is an additional
attraction that includes an open-air theatre
and a modern art gallery to promote cultural
events.
There is a divine garden in Jaipur namely
Kanak Vrindavan located at a distance of
about 8 km from city centre. This garden has
many temples, beautiful fountains,
waterfall, ponds, and flowerbeds. The garden
was built before the foundation of Jaipur
was laid,
during the sovereignty of Maharaja Sawai Jai
Singh II when Amber was the capital. These

destination for couples too. The place
