City Palace, Jaipur, which includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings, is a palace complex in Jaipur. Palace architecture in Rajasthan is simple in design, elaborate in execution and magnificient in appearance. The City Palace complex, an integral part of the Walled City, is a fine example of this pattern. It is a sprawling enclosure with many courtyards, gateways and gardens. The credit for the urban layout of the city and its structures is attributed to two architects namely, Vidyadar Bhattacharya, the chief architect in the royal court and Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, apart from the Sawai himself who was a keen architectural enthusiast. The architects achieved a fusion of the Shilpa Shastra of Indian architecture with Rajput, Mughal and European styles of architecture.
