One of the interesting features of these buildings is Nahar i Bahisht (River from Paradise). A small canal running the length of the main building. Keeping it cool and addind a visual interest. I can imagin the Moguls flowing "ittar" thru the canal!
The Royal quarters consists of dressing room, bathroom, prayer room and of course Rang Mahal. The royals were aware of the importance of nature and walks for long life. They called their garden Hayat Baksh (Life giving). The Sawan Bhadon pavilions - such poetic names for the buildings. The tank in one of them has niches for candles in sides. What reamins now is the barebones of the actual quarters, but one can imagin it's grandure in it's haydays.
