Raja Sawai Jai Singh built the City Palace Complex in the heart of his newly founded capital and it is clearly one of the most imposing and magnificent examples of art and architecture. The succeeding rulers made additions to the building later. Presenting a pleasing a blend of Mughal and Rajasthani architecture, a part of this palace is still occupied by the royal family. Sawai Madho Singh built Mubarak Mahal or Palace of Reception in the 19th century to welcome his guests, just as the name suggests. It is now occupied by the costume gallery of Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum displaying regal costumes such as exquisite and precious Pashmina Shawls, Benarasi silk saris, Sanganeri prints, embroidery and the voluminous clothes worn by the giant Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I (ruled 1750-68). Maharani's Palace or Palace of the houses the weaponry section of the museum with weapons as old as belonging to 15th century that are yet in a remarkable state of preservation. Diwan-I-Aam houses the art gallery showcasing rare ancient handwritten original m cripts of Hindu scriptures, delicate miniature paintings in Rajasthani, Mughal and Persian schools and engrossing painted ceilings. Diwan-I-Khas has two world's largest sterling silver vessels that were made for Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh II to carry water from River Ganga to drink on his voyage to England. Besides these, the palace also houses a multi cuisine restaurant and Chandra Mahal Palace, the present residence of the royal family. Visitors are slowed on the ground floor of this palace where they can see the beautiful Pea in the courtyard outside.
