Moti Mahal

One of the matchless tourist places in Bundi Rajasthan, this palace is steeped in history and offers gorgeous views of the Aravallis and the Nawal Sagar Lake. Built by Maharao Raja Bhao Singh in 1645, the fort was later strengthened and extended.

The subsequent rulers added steep stepwells and gardens that continue to pull visitors even today. Brilliant mirror works embellish the interiors of the palace. Rumour has it that when it was first built, 80 pounds of gold was used in its beautification, along with expensive marbles. A massive Shiva temple near the fort is another major draw.

Location: Teerath, Bundi.
