Jaipur Gardens

Exquisite land scaped gardens are stretched at various places in Jaipur. Some of these gardens which were laid down during the time of maharajas have been renovated. Fountains, watercourses, painted pavilions add to their beauty. The garden at the foothills of Nahargarh and located in the city is very beautiful and a good picnic spot.
Like palaces and forts some gardens at Jaipur bear a strong resemblance with those laid down by mughal emperors. The stepped gardens of Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh resemble mughal gardens in many ways. The garden is considered to be a symbol of love as the Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh made it for his queen.

A lush spacious garden with a zoo, an aviary, a greenhouse, a herbarium , a museum and popular sport ground called Ram Niwas Bagh constitutes the zoological garden of Jaipur. The garden houses many animals and birds.

Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh
Built by Raja Sawai Jai Singh, the founder of Jaipur, in 1728, Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh was built as a gift by the royal groom to his Sisodia Queen from Udaipur. Depicting the theme based on the legends of eternal lovers - Lord Krishna and his soul beloved Radha, the garden is laid in Mughal style, 8 km from Jaipur on the way to Agra. The gardens appeal to the aesthetic and visual tastes of the onlooker with its multi-tiered gardens, most elegant and graceful fountains and watercourses, painted pavilions and galleries and most exotic murals of Lord Krishna in all sorts of poses taken from his lifetime.

Vidyadhar Gardens
A beautiful vineyard situated very near the famous Sisodia Gardens of Jaipur, Vidyadhar Gardens is perhaps the best-preserved garden of Jaipur. Named after Vidyadhar Bhatacharjee, the celebrated architect and town planner of Jaipur, it is tastefully situated in a narrow valley, thus, offering it the advantage of being surrounded by lush green mountains that provide some of the most exotic views of the region and are certainly a credit to the eyes of the beholder.
