City Palace, Jaipur, which includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings, is a palace complex in Jaipur, the capital of the Rajasthan state, India. It was the seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur, the head of the Kachwaha Rajput clan. The Chandra Mahal palace now houses a museum but the greatest part of it is still a royal residence. The palace complex, located northeast of the centre of the grid-patterned Jaipur city, incorporates an impressive and vast array of courtyards, gardens and buildings. The palace was built between 1729 and 1732, initially by Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber. He planned and built the outer walls, and later additions were made by successive rulers continuing up to the 20th century. The credit for the urban layout of the city and its structures is attributed to two architects namely, Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, the chief architect in the royal court and Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, apart from the Sawai himself who was a keen architectural enthusiast. The architects achieved a fusion of the Shilpa Shastra of Indian architecture with Rajput, Mughal and European styles of architecture.

The Palace
by: EdenbridgeA place of power's rising
A place so deep within
In that stormy night when I came in
The fence that penned me in
In times when my heart tried to flee
From the serpent camouflage's melody
[pre-chorus]
The corridors I'm walking the walls point waits at me
The pictures in their ancient frames
Have eyes but will not see
[chorus]
One silent scream
Came straight into my dream am I still here in these
Unwritten pages of stories
The spoken word
Is often quite unheard
In this old gallery
Of splendid unbroken memory
I can hear
The palace in your heart will grow
Uncovered the rivers will flow
Plastic balls of forlorn memories
Rolling on and on
For one more wish you're yearning and they're gone
The valleys of your soul
They still can let the light shine in
The symmetry of your heart grows within
[pre-chorus]
The mourning hours are history
In my enchanted land
The belfry dies away down here
The road shall have no end
[chorus]
For years I've tried to feel
For years I've turned the wheel
For all that's said and done it is so clear
The crystal moments shine above eternal nights of fearin' here
