The structure built by Maharaja Udai Singh and later many additions by his successors is a rare combination of Medieval and European Architecture. A chunk of the palace is still being used by the 'Royal Family'.
The most part of the Palace now serves as museums. Crystal gallery is one of the main attractions, while there are many other things to see like, Mewar Paintings, Ancient Weapons, Sculptures, Antique Furnitures and as well as Royal Riviera-A Royal Cafe.

A Panorama of inside Courtyard...
If you have a pinch of interest in Fort/Architecture and you have never visited Rajasthan/a Fort before, then this is a MUST. And not to mention, it is really massive and you need 1/2 of a day to visit.

loving it.....
Great shots! Looks like you didn't find any crowd when you went there. When I was here in early 2009, the place was swarming with tourists. but, nonetheless, the place is beautiful, though they charge a bit too high a fee for entry.
