Hardcover. Zustand: New. As historic monuments go, the 18th-century Jal Mahal at Jaipur is celebrated as much for its jewel-like form as it is for the mystery of its origins. This book is the story of a remarkable conservation effort spearheaded by visionary patronage and a team of dedicated professionals who made it their mission over five years [2006 to 2010] to help revive the monument and restore the ecosystem of the surrounding Man Sagar Lake. This is the story of a pleasure pavilion, a space for respite created in an era where enclosed pleasure garden formations moved from Mughal patronage to Rajput inception.
