The Sisodia Rani Garden is a Mughal-style pleasure garden 8 kilometres east of Jaipur built in 1728 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II for his Sisodia Rajput queen — a love monument in the form of a multi-terraced garden with fountains, pavilions, and murals depicting scenes from the Radha-Krishna legend that was meant to console the queen who was homesick for her natal Udaipur. The garden is modelled on Mughal charbagh principles — four symmetrical quadrants with water channels — but adapted to a steep hillside site with seven terraces connected by staircases.
The upper terrace has a double-storey pavilion painted with miniature-style murals (some restored, some original), and the views down over the water channels and out to the Aravalli hills provide a peaceful escape from the chaos of the Pink City. The garden is rarely crowded and is a good pairing with a morning visit to Galtaji (2 km further up the same road).
