The Jaipur City Palace complex follows a logical progression from public spaces to increasingly private royal chambers. Most visitors enter through Virendra Pol and conclude their journey at the Sabha Niwas.

Highlights

Mubarak Mahal (Auspicious Palace)

A stunning two-story reception hall that greets visitors in the first courtyard after the Virendra Pol entrance. It houses the Textile gallery.

Rajendra Pol

An exquisite marble gateway connecting the Mubarak Mahal courtyard to the inner sanctum of Diwan-i-Khas.

Diwan-i-Khas (Sarvato Bhadra) - Hall of Private Audience

A unique square, single-story open hall with enclosed rooms at four corners. It's the most important ritual building in the complex and is still used for royal celebrations.

Sabha Niwas (Diwan-i-Aam)—Hall of Public Audience

The former public audience hall, where Maharajas held court and addressed citizens. It has now been converted into a magnificent art gallery.

Pritam Niwas Chowk - The Courtyard of the Beloved

An inner courtyard with four breathtakingly beautiful gates, perhaps the most Instagram-famous space in India,

Each gate represents a season and is dedicated to a Hindu deity.

Chandra Mahal

The most iconic building in the complex. A seven-story architectural marvel that remains the residence of Jaipur's royal descendants today.
