Albert Hall is the oldest museum in Jaipur. Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II was responsible for the construction of this museum in the year 1868, when King Edward the Prince of Wales visited India. Maharaja Ram Singh wanted that this building should be a town hall, but his successor wants that this should be museum , which should be known for the art of Jaipur.

  NASA Earth Observatory readers may recognize this image of a long trail of clouds — an atmospheric river — reaching across the Pacific Ocean toward California. It appeared first as an Image of the Day about how these moisture superhighways fueled a series of drought-busting rain and snow storms.

More recently, we were pleased to see that image on the cover of the Fourth National Climate Assessment — a major report issued by the U.S. Global Research Program.That image was one of many from Earth Observatory that appeared in the report. Since the authors did not give much background about the images, here is a quick rundown of how they were created and how they fit with some of the key points on our changing climate.

What the image shows:
Clouds swirl over sea ice, glaciers, and green vegetation in the Northern Hemisphere, as seen on a spring day from an angle of 70 degrees North, 60 degrees East

                                   LIFE

“I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.”

  

It is true that optimists, or positive thinkers, are at an advantage in life compared to pessimists. This is because of the effect your mindset and attitude have on everything we come across. Our social relationships, our job and also our health are an integral part of our daily life and we can feel how negative and positive thoughts can have a domino effect on everything we do during the day.

  

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.”

                              Time Travel

     Time travel is a mysterious and fascinating subject. Whether it’s really possible, or whether it exists only in our imagination

   TIME
              Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.
                     

                        Hawa Mahal, Jaipur

The pink hues of hawa mahal’s facade brings many thoughts into the mind – the simple and elegant beauty of the palaces of Rajasthan, Jaipur’s fetish with the deep reddish hues carefully preserved over a century, the confined lives of women in the palaces and mostly – the ultimate symbol of Rajasthan Tourism. On my first visit to Rajasthan, Hawa Mahal was in the beginning phase of a long lasting renovation, taking its time as any government project would. About four years later, on my second visit a month ago, the process was finally complete. It was the right time to be there, before the paint faded, before coloured glasses lost its sheen, before its fountain left to die and before the vandals arrived to scribble the details of their love life. The insides of the Hawa Mahal were gleaming with fresh paint, coloured glass (or are they stained glasses? there is no easy way to find out) and spotless interiors – as if the Maharaja had just gifted the palace of winds to the members of his harem.
We loved it, and almost refused to leave. A spree of photography lasted for four hours. We left, only to allow some time for other charms of Jaipur’s old city, but haven’t had enough of the Mahal yet. Here is a compilation of images made in and around Hawa Mahal in this brief period. But Hawa Mahal deserved more time; and more, better, beautiful images.

Jal mahal

         Jal Mahal Jaipur 

Jal Mahal Palace Jaipur is one of the most alluring architectural palace that was built with the Rajput and Mughal craftsmanship. The Palace provides a charming view of the Man Sagar Lake and Nahargarh hills that surround it.

Jal Mahal also known as the “WaterPalace” is located in the middle of Man Sagar Lake in the Pink City. The Jal Mahal Palace is 5 story high and is completely made of red stone. Four floors of the palace stay under the water and only one is visible.

There are four chattris on all four corners of the palace that are in octagonal shape. The palace has some of the exquisite marble cravings which denotes the royal touch and there are two pillars in the palace which are the cenotaph of the royal family of Maharaja Jai Singh. Jal Mahal palace and the lake was renovated by Maharaja Jai Singh 2 in 18th century.

Jal Mahal palace is open only through boats that takes tourists from land to the palace at the center. The lake was the favorite ground for Rajput Kings of Jaipur for royal duck shooting parties during their picnics.

Jal Mahal Jaipur was home for more than 100 species of local and migratory birds including Flamingo, Pintain, Coot, Ruff, Red-breasted flycatcher etc but their number declined with the worsening of the lake.
