Photos Of Sukh Mahal

Bundi, Rajasthan, India
The Sukh Mahal, which translates to "Palace of Pleasure," is an elegant historic summer retreat situated picturesquely on the edge of the artificial Jait Sagar Lake, surrounded by the lush Aravalli hills. This palace was constructed in 1776 A.D. during the reign of Rao Raja Vishnu Singh, under the s upervision of his Diwan and architect Sukhram, after whom it is named according to some accounts, or more commonly attributed to Rao Raja Umed Singh who built it as a cooling resort. Its location by the water was strategically chosen for its natural cooling effect, a testament to the ingenuity of Rajput summer architecture. The palace features a resplendent white marble chhatri (umbrella or pavilion) on its roof, which is a major attraction. Its tranquil setting and beautiful architecture have earned it a special place in literary history: the famed British author Rudyard Kipling is believed to have stayed here in the late 19th century and was so captivated by the charm of the palace and its surroundings that it is said to have inspired parts of his famous novel, Kim. For this reason, it is sometimes affectionately called the 'Kipling Palace' by overseas tourists. Though modest in size compared to the Garh Palace, the Sukh Mahal provides a delightful glimpse into the royal lifestyle, serving as a cool escape from the summer heat of the main palace.
