The Monsoon Palace also called Sanjjingarh Palace was built in 1884 by Maharana Sanjjin Singh. It was used as a place to go observe the Monsoon clouds. It overlooks Udaipur, villages and the mountains.
Water is always in short supply, so it was designed to catch all the rainwater and store this for palace use.
This young girl is carrying water in the palace.
She liked to pose for visitors.
The Monsoon Palace has views of Udaipur, the local villages, and the mountains in behind. On the mountains side of the Monsoon Palace there is a nature preserve where people can hike and sometimes see a variety animals. Below is a poster of some of the mammals you might see.
