Shankarnagar
A few kilometres away from the Pink City lies the small district of
Shankarnagar. Shankarnagar is located beyond the walls of the Pink
City and covers the north east region. The region occupies the
common grounds for the town of Amer and Jaipur City. The area is
sandwiched between the Road to Amer and National Highway 8 leading
to Ramgarh that run parallel throughout the district.The region is
not interspersed with busy roads and lanes.The attractions of the
region include Jal Mahal, Karbala Mosque, the Queen's Cenotaph and
Golimar Garden.
The duck shooting lands at Jal Mahal is charming in the midday sun
in Jaipur. It is a cool place and is surrounded by Man Sagar Lake.
The lake provides habitat to many rare birds. The reflection of Jal
Mahal in the lake is quite fascinating.
'Maharaniyon Ki Chatariyan' (Queen's Cenotaph) is one more
attraction in the region. The remains of the famous queen's have
been preserved here. It looks a little bit strange to find the
preserved sites beyond the walled city.
