It is just fab... It is an extraordinary art of Belgian glass. I was amazed with my first experience. It was constructed in 1623, amazing architecture at that time...I visited jaipur in December 2011, that was quit a good time to visit such a hotty place. I also love the beautiful designs of walls and ceilings.

Everything, it was one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever seen and can only imagine what it looked like with all of the jewels. My favorite and had to be pulled away.

The grandeur is missing, The guide will tell you stories about the king and... More
