complex in Rajasthan. Though it is a conglomeration of buildings
built by successive rulers, it manages to retain a surprising
uniformity of design and afford very fine view of the lake and the
city from the upper terraces. The Jagdish temple next to the city
palace enshrines black stone images of Lord Vishnu and his vehicle –
a mighty bird called Garuda – in a brass image. The temple is a very
fine example of Indo-Aryan Art. Overnight in the Hotel.
