Along the road to Agra through a narrow gorge in the South-Eastern
corner of the walled city, several landscaped gardens were constructed by
the kings and important courtiers in the 18th and 19th centuries. The
largest and the most famous amongst these is a garden built by Sawai Jai
Singh II for his Sisodia Queen - The Sisodia Rani-ka-Bagh. It consists of
tiered multilevel gardens with fountains, watercourses and painted
pavilions. Amongst others, the best-preserved one is Vidyadhar-ka-Bagh,
constructed by the builder of the city, Vidyadhar, with shady trees, flowing
water, an open pavilion and suites of living rooms.
