Day 2- Jaipur Birla Mandir & Jal Mahal

Birla Mandir: 
Birla Mandir is situated at the foot of Moti Dungri fort.The enormous temple was built during the year 1988, by Birla Group of Industries.The Temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Narayan), the preserver and his consort Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth. Due to this reason, Birla Temple is also known as Laxmi Narayan Temple. Birla Mandir is constructed in the finest quality of white marble.The images of Lakshmi Narayan is sculpted out of a single piece of marble.
Around the temple, there are well maintained garden. There are some shops to lure the tourists just at the temple premise entrance. In the evening, there are so many food stalls of panipuri, pavbhaji, bhelpuri,chaat,juice etc...Its kind of good spot for family outing on weekends.

Jal Mahal:
Jal Mahal Jal Mahal (meaning "Water Palace") is a palace located in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur city, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India. The palace and the lake around it were renovated and enlarged in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber.Across the lake, you can view the Aravalli hills, dotted with temples and ancient forts.The palace, built in red sandstone, is a five storied building out of which four floors remain under water when the lake is full and the top floor is exposed.

During our visit, there were rains so it was a beauty to watch Jal Mahal. This place is popular among the locals for a family outing on weekends. Here also eatable stalls, balloons, bread sellers are doing business. But due to all these, the premise of Jal Mahal have become very dirty.All wrappers,garbage, eatables, polythene can be seen lying on the ways.There are many fishes in the lake and people buy floor- balls and bread to feed them.
