A visit to Jal Mahal, Jaipur

A pretty long sunny drive from my friend's place, we drove through busy streets of the pink city. In sometime, we could feel the breeze got little colder, got a glimpe of Man sagar lake. 
Jal Mahal could be spotted in the middle of the lake. I was little puzzled as why a man should built a mahal in middle of a lake, history says a numerous stories. 
Finally got some info from internet.
They say, its a five storied structure with just one visible above the waters, Strange right?
I took a small break, had a tender coconut juice, fortunately and by surprise the vendor spoke my native language (tamil). He told us to wait till it gets dark as the Mahal will look beautiful when its lit. 
It's worth a wait.. 
One thing is sure, all Kings have enjoyed a lot with queens(their's or others who bothers), but we just see their architectural marvel.. 
Chill !!
