Built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the ruler of Kachhwaha Rajput, the year of its birth is 1799. This is a fusion of Islamic, Mughal and Rajput architectural styles. Complimenting these, the lavish arches and the filigree work in the stones represent the Islamic style of architecture. It is one of its kind pyramid structure, a 5-storeyed building which also represents a pattern of a Beehive. The best time to visit the Mahal is during the sunrise and the sunset as the golden rays lights up the red and pink sandstone building which is spectacular to view.
