LAKE PICHOLA

SAHELIYON KI BARI

Saheliyon Ki Bari, the garden of the maidens: one of the famous and luxuriant gardens, that was built by Maharana Sangram Singh for the royal ladies, is surrounded by the lotus pools, fountains, marble pavilions and statues. But it in one way, feeling like a countryside retirement home, all blank and quiet with a hint of the sound of running water and birds chirping from the nearby aviary.
