4- Jal Mahal:
One of the grand examples of Rajput architecture, the Jal Mahal, is located within Man Sagar Lake in the city of Jaipur. It can be seen as a standalone building from Man Sagar Dam, but unfortunately it was abandoned.
The 5-storeyed structure was built with sandstone as with most of the Rajput palaces, and was abandoned due to a whole host of reasons. In fact, only the top floor is visible to the public by water and partly submerged in it too. Over a decade ago, restoration efforts helped restore important parts to be visible again, illuminating for spectacular views and visible at night.
