Shankarnagar

Queen's Cenotaph, 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.
